The posemesh allows you to create a digital overlay of your space. Your domain is your canvas, your virtual real estate, making your environment accessible to digital things and AI. With a growing number of applications and the posemesh SDK to let your imagination run wild, getting a domain lets you stay ahead of the curve and on the right path.
Technically speaking, the posemesh domain is a persistent 3D coordinate system corresponding to a physical space. Its most basic form consists of one or more portal QR codes whose positions within that coordinate system are known. Devices calibrate into the domain by scanning a portal and then are able to see digital assets placed around the coordinate system.
Posemesh domains enable shared and persistent augmented reality, like a canvas upon which you can manifest your knowledge and imagination in the minds of others. They enable AI and other digital things to understand physical space.
Posemesh Domains can be self-hosted (for maximum privacy) or publicly hosted on domain servers (for a small fee). The Domain Manager stores and serves spatio-semantic representations of a physical space and serves as a central and trusted coordinator between visiting participants. The Domain Manager and Domain Owner earn rewards for serving spatial data to visiting participants and stake reputations using the $AUKI token.
Domain Owners may choose to mint their domain as an NFT by burning $AUKI tokens. If they stake a reputation (in $AUKI tokens), they will receive rewards when users calibrate into the domain and access scene reconstruction compute/data. In the cases where a device wishes for computation to be done on its behalf, that computation can be done domain-side by a domain cluster participant.
In many ways, we can think about domains as real-world assets or RWAs; as an asset, they have value because:
1. Owners of minted domain NFTs receive rewards when users calibrate into their domain and access scene reconstruction compute/data, so more foot traffic and posemesh-enabled app use = more rewards.
2. Digital information of any kind, including advertisements, can be placed and persisted in the domain.
3 It enables a plethora of use cases, including indoor navigation for people and robots, AR education and training, AR interior design, location-based AR experiences, and games… the possibilities are endless.
To flesh out a hypothetical use case, let’s look at what a posemesh domain-enabled AR Natural History Museum app might look like and what the benefits would be for humans using the Museum’s AR app.
By integrating the posemesh and AR technology, our hypothetical Museum has the opportunity to reinvent its visitor experience, making it more engaging, educational, and accessible using its AR app. Visitors can point their devices at specific exhibits to see historical animals or dinosaurs come to life in AR, narrating their own stories, reenacting significant events, or even chatting with visitors via a custom-trained LLM. Skeletons or sculptures of animals could share the details or the historical context of the time period they lived through, from climate to their predators.
These AR experiences would be shareable amongst school groups, families, or everyone in a group. As a result, they will see them simultaneously, making for a much more interactive learning experience and inspiring opportunities for discussions. Educational scavenger hunts become interactive, guiding school tours through the museum, creating engaged learning, and offering ‘rewards’ redeemable in their gift shop.
The Museum’s posemesh domain would be able to host all these AR experiences via the portal QR codes associated with the exhibits and could also sell ‘advertising’ for patrons or organizations that support the Museum using the AR App, all of which would be hosted on the Museum’s domain. These domain services could represent another income stream for the museum or its charitable foundation in order to engage and offer unique ‘ways’ to market to their audience or encourage visitors to donate to charitable organizations they partner with.
The ability to create AR applications and integrate AI agents into experiences using the posemesh domain service is already possible now. Combined with interactive content, the possibilities for engagement, education, and entertainment are infinite. As we integrate AR more deeply into interactive experiences, the allure of digital augmentation must not lead us to neglect the world around us. Instead, AR should serve to enhance our appreciation of the tangible, to bring to light aspects of our environment that we may have overlooked, and to foster a deeper connection with the spaces we inhabit in the real world.
This is the decade. This is the arena. You are here.

Auki is building the posemesh, a decentralized machine perception network for the next 100 billion people, devices and AI on Earth and beyond. The posemesh is an external and collaborative sense of space that machines and AI can use to understand the physical world.
Our mission is to improve civilization’s intercognitive capacity; our ability to think, experience and solve problems together with each other and AI. The greatest way to extend human reach is to collaborate with others. We are building consciousness-expanding technology to reduce the friction of communication and bridge minds.

The Posemesh is an open-source protocol that powers a decentralized, blockchain-based spatial computing network.
The Posemesh is designed for a future where spatial computing is both collaborative and privacy-preserving. It limits any organization's surveillance capabilities and encourages sovereign ownership of private maps of personal and public spaces.
The decentralization also offers a competitive advantage, especially in shared spatial computing sessions, AR for example, where low latency is crucial. The posemesh is the next step in the decentralization movement, responding as an antidote to the growing power of big tech.
The Posemesh has tasked Auki Labs with developing the software infrastructure of the posemesh.
