We're excited to announce that Niantic 8th Wall now supports Japanese, allowing developers in Japan to create AR experiences in their native language. Marketing pages, XR Home, and documentation sections are all available in Japanese, making it easier than ever for Japanese developers to create engaging and culturally relevant AR experiences for Japanese audiences. To experience Niantic 8th Wall in Japanese, developers simply need to turn on the language setting in their browser.

At 8th Wall, our goal is to create the tools that developers need to create cutting-edge WebAR experiences. Our decision to expand our developer support into Japanese comes as no surprise, given the popularity of AR in Japan. In fact, Japan is home to many innovative AR startups and is often seen as a leader in the AR industry. With Niantic's support, Japanese developers will now have even more tools and resources at their disposal to create cutting-edge AR experiences.

Developers like Mawari, a pioneer in cloud streaming technology for interactive AR. Mawari’s unique, patent-pending compression technology minimizes the weight of 3D content and enables real-time rendering and streaming to smartphones and AR Glasses. They create experiences for brands like MINI Australia, bringing to life their line of cars in new ways by helping customers understand how a model like the MINI Cooper Countryman might fit into their real-world environment.
