Distance
Distance (Distance Technologies) is a Helsinki-based frontier-tech company pioneering glasses-free extended reality (XR) built on computational optics and lightfield technology. Its systems turn transparent surfaces — vehicle windshields, aircraft canopies, and head-mounted visors — into intelligent heads-up displays without screens, overlays, or wearable glasses. Products include the Acuity visual-intelligence platform and Acuity OS for defense, the Field Operator HUD (FOH) head-mounted system in field trials across NATO countries, and panoramic lightfield HUDs for automotive ADAS and navigation. Distance is backed by GV (Google Ventures) and partners with defense, aerospace, and automotive organizations including Kia, Supacat, Galvion, Patria, and General Dynamics. The company publishes no public API or developer program; this profile tracks its identity and public web surface in the API Evangelist network.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Distance the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Distance scores 9.3/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Distance
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Distance. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
