Scan-Agnostic Visual Positioning System For Enterprise Scale

Transform raw data into real-time signals. MultiSet’s Visual Positioning System (VPS) locks phones, wearables, robots and  drones to a single, centimetre-accurate coordinate frame - indoors or  outdoors, across infinite areas, without markers, beacons or monolithic  re-scans.

What is Visual Positioning System?

Instead of installing thousands of physical sensors to track assets and unreliable GPS in dense/indoor areas, MultiSet turns the camera of any standard device (phone, tablet, or robot) into a precision sensor. It compares what the camera sees against a digital map of your facility to provide centimeter-level tracking without any new infrastructure.

How it works

SCAN
Capture with any modality - iOS Pro, Matterport, Leica, NavVis, Faro, XGrids, and more.
MAP
Vision Fusion normalizes scale, lighting and noise into a unified, compression-optimised map.
LOCALIZE
Devices query the map; hierarchical indexing returns a centimetre-true pose in seconds.
Sub 5-CM & 2° of Accuracy

Transition Handling
Low Light + Direct Glare
Interference Handling - people, cars & equipment Audit
Low Drift
Scan-Agnostic Input
Feed LiDAR, point-cloud or textured meshes to MultiSet; Vision Fusion  normalizes them into one high-fidelity map on a unified coordinate  system so teams can use the hardware they already own.

MapSet: Infinite Venue Scale

MapSet fuses every LiDAR, photogrammetry and 360° scan into one continuous  coordinate system so operators navigate entire airports or warehouses  without “map islands,” devices localise in < 52 ms, and analytics  stay centimetre-true across expansive venues.
Unified Coverage
Operators see one coordinate system, not “map islands,” enabling uninterrupted  way-finding and analytics across airports, warehouses and campuses.
Seamless Hand-Offs
Precise relative transforms deliver smooth pose continuity as robots, wearables and phones cross boundaries.
Hierarchical Indexing
Keeps < 1 cm drift at 100 m for robots, tablets and smart-glasses while supporting 10 000 m²+ footprints.
Geo Hint Boost
GPS or UWB priors localise and track faster, while spatial queries stay  millimetre-true across stitched maps, powering precision AR overlays and live analytics.

Visual Positioning Systems For Augmented Reality

AR Indoor Navigation

MultiSet VPS (Visual Positioning System) enables precise indoor navigation  through augmented reality overlays, helping users efficiently navigate  complex industrial environments. The system displays intuitive  directional indicators, waypoints, and location markers directly in the  user's field of view, guiding them to specific destinations like the QA  department or automated guided vehicle zones. This real-time AR  visualization enhances workplace efficiency, reduces time spent finding  locations.

Visualizing BIM Models in
Construction Processes

MultiSet VPS (Visual Positioning System) enables accurate on-site visualization  of BIM (Building Information Modeling) models, overlaying digital plans  onto physical structures. This helps construction teams assess progress, detect discrepancies.

Real-time AR Data overlay

MultiSet VPS (Visual Positioning System) allows field operators to access  real-time machine and IoT data overlaid directly on equipment during  maintenance and inspections. This real-time visualization enhances  troubleshooting, reduces downtime, and ensures safety by providing  critical insights at a glance.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Visual Positioning System (VPS) and why do enterprises need it?

A VPS gives devices precise 6-DoF position and orientation in the real world so AR content and robots can align to physical assets exactly indoors, outdoors, and at scale. Compared with GPS, Wi‐Fi, beacons or QR codes, VPS provides far higher accuracy and persistent spatial awareness, which is essential for navigation, training, inspection, and digital‐twin overlays in complex facilities. VPs also provide multiplayer environments which provide a shared sense of space for a fleet of devices.

How do I integrate MultiSet AI's VPS into my applications?

Integrate MultiSet AI's VPS using our REST API, Unity SDK, or native SDKs for iOS and Android. This ensures seamless integration and precise localization in your AR projects. Our platform also supports on‐premises deployments and offline SDKs, keeping your data secure. Designed for various environments, our VPS technology handles everything from small rooms to large stadiums.

How does MultiSet's VPS differ?

A visual positioning system uses camera imagery to calculate a device’s 6‐DoF pose. MultiSet’s VPS is scan‐agnostic. It fuses LiDAR data, point clouds and 3D scans, delivers sub‐centimetre accuracy, and scales to 100,000+ m2 venues without markers or beacons.

How does MultiSet manage content: anchors vs. embedded in the map?

MultiSet binds content within the map asset for efficient localization. Updates require redeploying the map to devices, which is good for enterprise change control.

Are there any limitations I should be aware of?

Vision‐based systems can fail if a scene changes drastically (e.g., walls removed). Plan maintenance windows to refresh maps and use map stitching for large spaces. (Pro tip: design fallbacks like QR/UWB hints for cold‐start.)
