In the rapidly evolving world of augmented reality development and immersive technologies, collaboration is the keystone of innovation.

About Puttscape

Puttscape is an augmented reality golf platform that enhances the minigolf experience by overlaying digital content onto the real world. Augmented reality content interacts with real-world objects, like a golf ball, to advance a variety of different storylines. Miniature golf businesses can easily scan their courses and set up multiple themed games on each course, so guests can choose their own experience. Each course’s replayability increases, too, when guests want to try out each themed AR game! 

Qualcomm’s Pathfinder Program: A Leg Up for Virtual and Augmented Reality Businesses 

The Pathfinder Program aims to accelerate the development of the next generation of digital experiences. It supports innovators, entrepreneurs, and developers in the fields of mixed reality, augmented reality, and virtual reality. Qualcomm provides program members with access to resources, expertise, and support from other experts in the field, which can be immensely helpful for startups just taking root. Members also gain access to development kits, software tools, and the latest Qualcomm technologies. This strong support, combined with a network to lean on, levels the playing field for newer virtual and augmented reality businesses - empowering them to create amazing, innovative solutions alongside established industry giants. 

What Does the Pathfinder Program Mean for Puttscape? 

Acceptance into the program is an endorsement of Puttscape’s AR technology and forward-thinking business model. This recognition validates the effectiveness and potential of Puttscape's solution within the minigolf industry and opens the door for growth. We envision a world in which AR gameplay is a core component of minigolf experiences across the country! 

Beyond minigolf, access to Qualcomm’s resources could lead to expansion in the variety of use cases for this particular AR technology, too. A wide variety of hobbies, outdoor activities, and sports might see interesting enhancements at Puttscape’s hand in the coming years. We’re not sure what’s next for Puttscape, yet, but we do know that the future is bright. 

In essence, Puttscape's acceptance into the Qualcomm Pathfinder Program is more than just an accolade; it's a catalyst for growth, innovation, and collaboration that benefits not only Puttscape and DAS Labs but also the broader ecosystem of augmented reality businesses.
