[{"type":"text","content":"\n NEW YORK, July 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Weyland Tech, Inc. (OTCQX: WEYL), a leading global provider of eCommerce, mCommerce, and fintech business enablement solutions, has introduced a new augmented reality module (AR) for its award-winning CreateApp™ platform-as-a-service used by businesses worldwide. CreateApp enables small-and-medium sized businesses (SMBs) to instantly create a mobile presence and deploy a native iOS or Android mobile app without any technical knowledge or background. It empowers SMBs to reach more customers, increase sales, manage logistics, conduct financial transactions, and promote their products and services in an easy, affordable, and highly efficient way. The CreateApp user base of businesses across Southeast Asia and Europe grew 47 percent last year to more than 360,000 and generated a record $34.6 million in subscription-based revenue. Representing the culmination of several years of research and development, Weyland has introduced the AR module as one of several mCommerce extension modules available for CreateApp. The new AR module has been designed to support the sale of products and services across a range of industries, from retail, consumer products, apparel and household furnishings to real estate, interior design, and construction. AR also has applications in telemedicine, allowing, for example, physical therapists and patients to receive quantified information on mobility improvements during their recovery. The CreateApp platform takes advantage of AR technology which has advanced to the point of becoming a standard feature on many mobile devices and enabling a growing number of AR applications. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+, Galaxy S20+, and Galaxy S20 all have the capability to scan the surrounding area to create a virtual world superimposed on the screen.  Earlier this year, Apple introduced a LiDAR sensor on its fourth-generation iPad Pros, which creates an accurate mapping of the local space. The tech giant is expected to include LiDAR sensors in its new iPhones coming out this fall. Last year, Google added AR capabilities to its popular search engine, allowing users to view and interact with 3D objects, and gain a sense of scale and detail by placing them directly into a user’s own space.
