Our network of specialized companies can answer all technology questions, develop the optimal user experience and create a well-founded storytelling.

Content

Whether it is 3D-generated content to create a virtual environment or information used as an overlay in an AR scenario, content is the key to a comprehensive virtual experience.

Testing

Testing of an immersive experience requires specific tools and methods. Unlike a traditional app, testing an immersive app resembles more the proceedings for a video game application.

Use & Devices

AR, VR and MR each have unique functional and non-functional properties. They require expertise in content creation, computer vision, head tracking and user interface design. All of this also determines the most suitable device to play the content – with endless options, from smartphones and tablets to HMDs.

Platforms & Hosting

SDKs and platforms evolve quickly, which means application teams must be aligned to their requirements and features. Given the importance of content, processing of computer vision, deep learning and a myriad of device platforms – it is critical to understand hosting solutions that support unique immersive technologies.

AR & VR: Don't forget the user during development

New technologies are easiest to establish when they can be integrated intuitively into the everyday lives of the end users. This is something that developers in the VR and AR area are currently experiencing. At the moment, they are dealing with the development of applications that can be integrated seamlessly into the everyday behavioural patterns of consumers. Ralf Schimmele, partner at Infinity Reply, knows the best way to make this work.
