Our
Work
Barbie Virtual Performance for Mattel We brought Mattel's flagship brand, Barbie, to life with a cutting-edge Virtual Performance attraction. In a vibrant Barbie-themed disco room, guests danced and interacted in real-time with Barbie and her best friend, DJ Daisy. This immersive experience allowed the audience to enjoy lively conversations and dance-offs, creating unforgettable moments of fun and engagement.
In collaboration with National Geographic, we developed the thrilling 'Critter Cam' Virtual Performance attraction. This interactive experience allowed audiences to converse in real-time with animals in their natural habitats. Enhanced with dramatic narrative set-pieces, the show captivated visitors with engaging stories and lively animal interactions, making each moment both educational and entertaining.
We partnered with Tabatinga to bring their jungle-themed kids' play centers into the digital age. Focusing on Ranger Tabatha and her rainforest animal friends, we created a vibrant digital presence for the brand. Our work included installing interactive touchscreens at their venues, launching a dynamic new website, and developing a mobile app game. These digital innovations enhanced the customer experience, blending physical fun with engaging online interactions and expanding Tabatinga's reach beyond their brick-and-mortar locations.
For several years, we've worked closely with Imaged Reality, a pioneering geoscience startup, to develop a suite of cutting-edge training, simulation, and analytics products. We began with a VR 'Virtual Field Trip' that allowed participants to engage in structured field trips within a collaborative virtual workspace. Building on this success, we created a desktop-only version of the app and a comprehensive geological analysis application. Our innovative solutions have revolutionized geoscience training, making it more accessible, interactive, and effective.
Our long-term partner Animalive and Slacker Apps have collaborated on a variety of projects, from interactive theme park attractions to mobile app and AR development. Our latest venture was a groundbreaking A.I. Chatbot proof of concept for museum attractions. Guests could engage in free-flowing conversations with Max Bot, a bubbly and bright virtual guide. Max Bot not only shared fascinating facts but also acted as an information desk, providing essential details about the venue. This innovative solution enhanced visitor engagement and transformed the museum experience.
"Private Eye" is an atmospheric VR narrative that plunges players into the shoes of a 1950s detective embroiled in a twisted, trust-no-one plot. Utilizing the full power of VR, we let you become the protagonist in a first-person, immersive experience. Our intuitive control scheme ensures a seamless sense of presence, while gameplay involves solving physical puzzles, discovering clues, unlocking memories, and interacting with characters. With no cut-scenes, the action unfolds all around you, delivering a cinematic and atmospheric adventure that blurs the line between game and reality.
