// about Niantic Lightship

Niantic Lightship is an AR developer platform built on the infrastructure behind Pokémon GO that provides real-world mapping, Visual Positioning System, and shared AR capabilities. Game developers and location-based app teams use it to build experiences where digital objects appear precisely anchored to real-world locations and persist across sessions for multiple users. The Lightship VPS uses crowdsourced scan data to recognize thousands of real-world locations and position AR content accurately within them.
