EchoAR (stylized "echoAR") is a cloud platform for augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) that provides tools and server-side infrastructure to help developers and companies build and deploy AR/VR apps and experiences. The company provides a subscription-based, 3D-first content management system (CMS) and delivery network (CDN) and scalable BaaS infrastructure that enables developers to build their AR/VR app backend, and allows their clients to upload, manage, and publish content to the AR/VR app with limited technical knowledge.[1]

Technology[edit]

The cloud platform is built to handle, convert, and compress 3D models, interactive content, and animations, while providing backend tools and usage metrics to help developers create scalable AR/VR solutions. echoAR has a cross-platform application programming interface (API) where published 3D content can be retrieved using their content management system.[2] The system supports AR/VR client-side Software Development Kit (SDK), such as Oculus SDK, ARCore, ARKit, Vuforia, WebXR, AR.js, Unity-based SDKs, and MagicLeap,and serves as the backend for native AR/VR apps developed for platforms such as Android, iOS, HoloLens and MagicLeap.[3][2] Access to the platform is offered on a tiered basis, with certain features offered as part of a free tier, while additional tiers provide for increasing levels of access, storage, bandwidth, and support, for a monthly subscription fee after an initial free trial.[4]

Company[edit]

EchoAR was founded in 2018 by Koren and Alon Grinshpoon.[5] The company is backed by Techstars and Remagine Ventures and has also received grants from Y Combinator, Verizon, and NYC Media Lab.[6]
