Official Project Status Notice — September 21, 2026
Notice is hereby given that all physical field validation operations and upcoming development phases for the 1:1 scale Marconi Wireless Towers reconstruction at Wellfleet, MA, Cape Cod, are placed on hold.
Following the completion of over $3,000,000 in resilient community, public safety, and maritime software applications, this platform has received zero reasonable interest from potential end-users.
While our underlying near-geospatial routing loops, Haversine math, and tripod-stabilized orientation data-smoothing code are mathematically finalized under core commit 86d9474, further field validation and retail hardware deployment are suspended until institutional B2B procurement allocations or hardware pipeline sponsorships are secured by external entities.
The core software technology remains fully compiled, active, and indexed — becoming finalized now as an unassailable wall of permanent public prior art.
Subscribe to folio-pin's patent-pending AR mapping software and use it with compatible hardware you already own. Bring your own glasses; open capability detection supplies the spatial experience without manufacturer-specific application code.
Every overlay is anchored to a coordinate-locked data "bin"—a fixed real-world latitude/longitude/elevation point that holds the content tied to that spot, independent of any one headset. Because the bin itself is device-agnostic, folio-pin can stand up a working application for a new AR device the moment it exposes standard WebXR capabilities, without rebuilding the underlying map data.
folio-pin uses the open WebXR Device API and runtime capability detection instead of separate code paths for individual manufacturers. Compatible devices receive the same standards-based interface, with location-assisted and simulated fallbacks when immersive AR is unavailable.
The coordinate-locked data bins that hold each overlay's content are what make this possible: the bin, not the headset, owns the content, so a new cutting-edge device only needs to speak WebXR to read the same bins every other compatible device already uses.
Instead of a hypothetical example, this bin is anchored to an actual, citable location — the site in South Wellfleet, Massachusetts, within Cape Cod National Seashore, where Guglielmo Marconi sent the first U.S. transatlantic wireless message to King Edward VII on January 18, 1903. No structures remain on site today; the bin is what lets a compatible device overlay the station's history on the empty ground.

The bin pulls federally-held historic imagery through the Library of Congress's public API — the same working pipeline folio-pin's History Map already uses — because the National Archives' own catalog is a browser application without a server-callable endpoint.
View source record at loc.govBelow is what this bin actually produces on a device today: a live check of whether your browser supports a camera-tracked WebXR session, plus an honest fallback — a compass-and-distance HUD, not a simulated overlay — when it doesn't.
This device has no WebXR immersive-ar session support (or none was detected). What follows is a directional aid, not a camera-locked overlay: it points toward the Marconi site and estimates distance from GPS, without tracking the physical terrain.
Bearing to site

41°54'50"N, 69°58'16"W · South Wellfleet, MA
Bearing and distance are computed on-device from your GPS fix and orientation sensor — no server round-trip required once location access is granted. If connectivity drops after that point, this reading keeps working; it does not, however, make the AR overlay itself work offline on hardware that lacks WebXR support.
This HUD can be mirrored onto standard display glasses today using a USB-C cable that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode — the same mirroring most phones already use to drive an external monitor. No app changes are needed for that part; the glasses simply need to accept DP Alt Mode video-in.
Mount a phone in a fixed dashboard cradle and it runs the same Haversine-distance and compass-heading math shown above, aimed at your route's next waypoint instead of a historic bin. If your glasses support display mirroring (screen casting or a wired video-out mode), the phone can mirror that HUD to the lenses. That is the entire mechanism — a bearing arrow and a distance readout, refreshed from the phone's own GPS and compass sensors.
This is a compass-and-distance overlay, not camera-based spatial anchoring, and it does not paint lane-accurate graphics onto the road or replace turn-by-turn map guidance. It still requires a GPS fix — GPS is a satellite service, so this software does not remove that dependency, and no software can make a GPS receiver jam-proof. Full AR anchoring (content that visually locks to a specific object or lane on the road) requires the glasses' own camera/SLAM hardware, which this software does not provide or claim to provide.

Dashboard-mounted heading & distance HUD, mirrored to compatible display glasses.
Individuals and professionals subscribe above. Manufacturers and brands license at the device-family level instead: one annual agreement that lists their approved glasses on folio-pin's certified-device directory and covers their end-user base for the browser-native PWA and offline anchor cache.
A flat annual license fee for every approved manufacturer or brand. It authorizes their device families on the certified-device directory and extends the license to their global end-user base.
Scales with the subscriptions we add
At the close of each active fiscal cycle, the baseline license fee scales upward by a percentage indexed to the growth in folio-pin subscriptions activated on that manufacturer's certified devices. Only folio-pin's own contribution is measured. The manufacturer's existing hardware market, shipments, and sales are never part of the calculation.
Sovereign Terms: This baseline license fee is an absolute, non-negotiable operational gate. No hardware profile, firmware container, or micro-display architecture from Meta, Google, XREAL, RayNeo, or Viture is authorized to handshake with the NGTlink ground mesh or utilize our edge-stabilized spatial visualization core until this annual institutional fee is executed and cleared directly into our secure registry. BYOG retail subscribers remain strictly bound to the standalone consumer telemetry terms above.

folio-pin provides software only. You obtain compatible glasses and any required host device separately. folio-pin does not sell, lease, ship, warranty, insure, or provide technical support for hardware. Please confirm browser and device capabilities before you subscribe.
No. It is a direct Folio-Pin software offer for NOAA professionals, AMS members, and qualifying broadcast weather centers. NOAA and the American Meteorological Society do not sponsor or endorse it. Access is application-based, software-only, and intended for non-operational evaluation.
No. folio-pin is a bring-your-own-glasses (BYOG) software subscription. You obtain compatible hardware separately; folio-pin does not sell, lease, ship, warranty, or support hardware.
Compatibility is determined at runtime through open WebXR browser capabilities rather than a device-name list. Confirm immersive AR, secure-context, location, and orientation support on your intended browser host before subscribing.
The experience falls back to location-assisted or simulated 3D modes instead of loading manufacturer-specific code.
Yes, as a proposed program. A manufacturer or brand license is a flat $5,000,000 per year with an annual adjustment tied to growth in folio-pin subscriptions on that manufacturer's certified devices, never to the manufacturer's own hardware sales. It is separate from the consumer and professional subscriptions above, and terms are only final once set out in a signed agreement. Contact us to discuss it.
Pricing is published now. Secure billing is being finalized, so enrollment is temporarily unavailable. Plans will open for subscription once billing setup is complete.
Field operators use standard smartphones on fixed stands to project 1:1 history wireframes onto the physical landscape without relying on cloud connectivity. If AR glasses makers fund the hardware, this scales into a larger field-capture workforce.
Depends on AR glasses industry validation and hardware funding.
