Trend-watching
Citizens are ready to implement digital cities
Last years, companies such as Snapchat, Facebook, and Apple have increased their time and investments in augmented reality. Who own digital twin of the city - gain access for services of the next big media channel.
Context
City-scale AR is a new layer of digital and physical interplay
Digital layer is renewable dimensional copy of real city stored in a cloud and accessible for citizens.
It’s a new way for communication between people, the city, and growing information flow.

Bridge between physical and digital layers
Different ways to use it:
Tourism
AR enriches a tourism experience
City scale AR creates a different entertainment scenarios by using augmented reality to engage people and give them a great ‘phygital’ view

Advertisement
Advertisements will overlay the physical world and live in a digital layer.
People around will have augmented reality experience to get a reliable notification and personalized proposals directly with space context.

Principal interplay
Scheme explaining actors, exchange strategy and key benefits for governance
Governance own the digital layer -
we support and operate it.
we support and operate it.
Key benefits
Formed union will be able to rent and sell digital space but also moderate content and form a policy to communicate with existing and upcoming advertising platforms.
Control
Digital content moderation and approval will allow to create a new type of design code. Guideline will support and control actors and advertising platforms with governance verification using smart contracts.
Data
Balancing between private and public data we will provide unique combination of spatial contextual data about users behavior including GPS location heatmaps. Next we will be able to provide precise crowdsourcing tool connecting citizens needs and governance possibilities.
Income
Operating and leasing virtual space will generate additional income going thru chain of business, digital landlord and platform operator. Form of tax for usage of already existing space without any need for physical construction
First steps and planning
1
Event and public space
World most important event provide vision of the future, spread innovative ideas. Expo 2021 in Dubai is great opportunity to demonstrate a vision of the future for global audience and place a vector for upcoming digital city development. Optional first steps could be AR sculptures in the Dubai Mall public spaces.

Metaverse operation
Governance own the digital layer - we support and operate it. Formed union will be able to rent and sell digital space but also moderate content and form a policy to communicate with existing advertising platforms such as Google and Facebook
Step 1: Expo 2021
Series of AR sculptures made in a collaboration with digital artists will be virtually located on Expo 2021 territory. Any user with almost any phone will be able to get unique experience and share emotions in social media.
Step 2: City-scale AR required precise point cloud
