We live in an era, when the computer-generated reality and the reality that we perceive with the naked eye have married. This is an augmented reality, a technology that attracts both consumers and advertisers, but is still very expensive to the two of them. Maybe we are so interested in AR because our brain becomes not enough information? Maybe there is too much 2D, 3D content around us, and we are tired of it? The new Scanetchain project supports these points of view and intends to make the augmented reality more accessible. It already does! By introducing the commercial DApp in June 2018.
The path for AR to our everyday reality is open
Now all this is really closer to us than it seemed to be before. Look: video games and computer graphics with AR scores are already on the Amazon’s market and they become cheaper each month. Game graphics erase the barriers of the photorealism. Market giants like Samsung simply represent new technologies of augmented reality, for example, graphics that coincide with sounds and tactile sensations.
So the project with which the decentralized Scanetchain platform enters the market is very timely. It is suitable not only for entertainment, but also for creating an ecosystem where advertising, social networks, shops would also have cheap access to AR.

“Scan” appears already in the title - all right, it's about scanning technology! This will be available for smartphones and tablets. That means, you do not need to buy expensive equipment to experience the technology of augmented reality. It is enough to install Scanetchain DApp and use the camera of the smartphone to scan any physical object.
Access to the contents will be instantaneous for all participants of the chain. The platform is based on NEM, a revolutional crypto currency, which market is expected to be valued at $215 billion by 2021. We will talk about it later.
Yes, not all of us are people of technical mindset and not all are business sharks in the sea of crypto-currency. But everyone should understand that the appearance of Scanetchain will help the AR market grow.
Why on NEM?
I guess, because this is the most reliable option. NEM is written in Java and JavaScript and it has it’s own bump of which stumble the hackers (now I talk about it). It also has an integrated secure and encrypted exchange of P2P messaging, multi-value accounts and system Eigentrust ++ reputation. Many American, Indian, finally, the most conservative Japanese banks that are also working with smart contracts have already estimated the transmission speed and data security, and began to use this technology.
NEM cryptography is also applicable in the world of technology. Unlike BTC which use Mining technology to increase the number of coins, XEM (NEM) uses generation of units with the assistance of the amount of fees, somehow it became the name “harvest”. So, every “reaper” must pass the “Proof-of-Importance” procedure (POI).
4 elements of the Scanetchain system
Four important parts of this blockchain will play the “engine” role:
- Advertising spaces, where users receive tokens as a reward for viewing advertising.
- The AR trading system and market players.
- Social networks;
- The content distribution system.
The idea of Scanetchain AR is that augmented reality should be profitable, until today it was used only for entertainment. To have fun is also important, of course, however, this is the case when a blockhain become a catalyst for a new technology that will simplify our life.
How does the scanning process run?
Scanetchain will assign to various objects the marker that can be scanned and that any platform user can automatically read with his smartphone without any additional hardware. Remember how the QR code appeared, and it became a revolution? The same code (image, logo, any object) will become the Scanetchain marker, and any data or content will be associated with it.
But stop, the AR-data weighs a lot!
Yes, and this is also provided by the creators of the platform. Therefore, Scanetchain is not just DApp, it's a platform with a cloud service that can directly connect through the API to databases to enable the functions of an AR-based application. So there is no need to download content into the device memory, you can get it anytime directly from the storage. Any user can provide content within the system of scanning, and it will be available to other users.
When can I use my NEM tokens?
It is expected that after the fundraising, the complete construction of the chain will be completed by February 2019. Founder Victor Yang has already announced the creation of components based on AR outside of the blockchain, but now users are able to use their tokens only within the ecosystem.
I'm alerting that Crowdsale has successfully ended. With 600 million token hard cap, it should be possible to collect the required amount of funds to continue the developing. The open beta version for Android exists from the end of June and is available on Google Playstore. In September, it is planned to create a version for iOS. Airdrop and bounty are also still ongoing.
Summing up
Scanetchain is a beneficial platform for both parties, where lots of great things are still coming. Users receive a reward for viewing ads. Advertisers benefit from customization and expansion of advertising. Then, tokens can be used to purchase goods. You can visit the Scanetchain website to get further detailed information, but I'm having problems with downloading it recently. So I'm attaching all the other links to official resources and you can also drop an email to support@scanetchain.io.
