Company profile
researched Sep 2026Marble AR, Inc. develops Marbleverse, a mobile augmented reality application that the company describes as a "spatial internet" and an AR metaverse layered onto the physical world. The core unit of the product is a "Marble" — a virtual container for digital content such as photos and videos — which users record in-app and leave at a physical location for other users to discover through their phone camera. The app opens directly to the camera to make capture and placement quick, and surfaces nearby content through a radar view, a global "Tap Map" of public Marbles, and a feed of posts from followed users.
Additional features include Info Marbles (a library of location-relevant entries such as Wikipedia and Metro Marbles), Layers that function like hashtags for public communities or as private groups visible only to invited friends, in-app direct messaging, user-created tours that others can follow, AR scavenger hunts, and camera facemasks. The Google Play edition also lists an NFT Hunt mode in which users earn NFTs by discovering NFT Marbles. The app relies on GPS and augmented reality and requires location and camera permissions.
