ABOUT

Yanuar Aristya - XR Software Engineer and Spatial Computing Expert

Hello 👋 I'm a software engineer focused on XR systems, spatial computing, and real-time interactive applications.

Over the past several years, I've designed and developed systems that make shared immersive experiences possible — from SDKs and spatial computing toolchains to AR glasses prototypes integrating camera sensors and IMUs for real-time 6DoF tracking.

My work sits at the intersection of software architecture, real-time perception, and creator experience design. I enjoy building tools and frameworks that empower others to craft immersive, multi-user experiences.

PROJECTS

Web-Based 3D Scene Editor & XR Runtime

C# · Unity · WebGL · AR Glasses
2024 - 2025 Cellid inc.

Built a web-based scene editor that exports portable 3D scenes as self-contained folders with assets, metadata, and scene definitions.

Defined an interoperable scene format and developed an XR runtime on Unity capable of loading these manifests, resolving assets, and rendering them dynamically across platforms.

The runtime was designed to run on AR Foundation-supported devices and demonstrated on Qualcomm Snapdragon–based AR glasses such as ThinkReality A3 and NTT QONOQ MiRZA.

AR Glasses Prototype

C++ · ROS · VIO · Embedded Systems
2024 - 2025 Cellid inc.

Implemented and adapted a real-time 6DoF pose estimation pipeline on an embedded platform using a Raspberry Pi, camera module, and IMU. The work explored sensor calibration, synchronization, and spatial alignment between visual and inertial inputs, with data streamed into a working AR application for live testing.

It also involved evaluating third-party VPS integrations across multiple AR hardware platforms, from prototype boards to commercial smart glasses, to inform future system architecture and design decisions.

Pretia AR

Unity · SvelteKit · PostgreSQL · iOS · Android

Built Pretia AR, a mobile app that lets customers experience augmented-reality content without installing a full app.
Leveraged Apple App Clips and Android Instant Apps to launch lightweight AR sessions directly from QR codes, dynamically fetching and rendering experiences based on the scanned link.

I led development of the mobile runtime for both Android and iOS, including the core logic for content streaming, lifecycle management, and real-time rendering within constrained runtime environments.
IAlso built the initial management dashboard used to register and schedule AR campaigns and visualize analytics through pre-aggregated time-series data

Initially developed as a prototype, the platform was released to production within six months and later adopted for large-scale commercial campaigns.

Pretia AR Cloud Demo

Pretia AR Cloud Platform

Unity · Multiplayer · Visual Localization · iOS · Android

Worked on Pretia AR Cloud, a platform providing tools and services for creating shared AR experiences. I joined the project near its inception, building the multiplayer foundation and visual-based positioning systems of the SDK, and later led a team expanding its features and improving developer tools.

A major focus was on developer experience — designing APIs that felt natural to Unity engineers, writing tutorials and guides, and maintaining clear documentation.
Our team also developed companion mobile app for 3D mapping, real-time content authoring, and AR recording/playback, creating an end-to-end workflow for crafting shared AR experiences.

The platform's highlight was a 2022 hackathon, where multiple teams built public projects using the SDK. It was a rewarding moment seeing developers create with the tools we built.
