Pikd is a London-based spatial computing company. Its platform anchors digital content to real-world coordinates so that content can only be collected by a person physically standing near it, within roughly two hundred metres outdoors and as little as five where precision matters.

The company's technical position is that context-aware augmented reality does not require surveillance. Most systems that understand a user's surroundings do so by sending sensor data to a server. Pikd runs language, speech and perception inference on the device itself, keeping raw sensor data local and publishing only what a service actually needs to know. The architecture is patent-pending in the United Kingdom, and the company has taken it to the UK regulator early rather than waiting to be asked.

In production, this is a geospatial engine, a game and campaign engine, and marketing tooling. Pikd has delivered 45 commercial augmented reality campaigns across the United Kingdom and Kazakhstan for brands including Red Bull, Burger King and FC Kairat. Its newest component is an on-device AI assistant that answers questions about a user's real surroundings and collection state.

The company is open about what is not solved. Positioning is mature; scene understanding is not, and closing that gap is the current engineering problem. Pikd is actively seeking European partners in geospatial positioning.
