Building Virtual Worlds Over the Real Environment

Augmented Reality Development Services

Q: What are Augmented Reality services?

Our Augmented Reality app development services include the following: we build a prototype or an MVP for your AR solution so that you can test the business idea and validate it; Augmented Reality developers build the AR app for you, create graphic content and 3D models; we develop AI algorithms to train your AR solution to recognize flat surfaces, faces, hands, and any other object to apply an experience to; if required, we enhance the solution and extend its functionality; optionally, we integrate your AR solution with third-party services or other apps.

Q: What is AR development?

Augmented Reality app development is the process of building an AR application for smartphones, AR glasses, so-called magic mirrors, etc. Many industries benefit from AR development, for example: education marketing entertainment manufacturing healthcare retail real estate sports collaboration and remote work

Q: How much does AR technology cost?

The cost of building an AR technology application depends on the following factors: complexity of the application itself: number of features, data storage, external services, and so on composition of the development team: whether you need both iOS and Android developers on your team, will designers be involved, how many Unity developers does the project require? developer hourly rates, which can vary greatly, in part depending on where they are based whether you need to create graphic content and 3D models for your AR app or already have them As you can see, it’s hard to provide even a rough general estimate of AR app development cost. But we will be happy to provide an individualized estimate for your specific project for free — just drop us a line!

Q: How do AR applications function?

Augmented Reality technology adds new layers to existing reality. To do this, you need a portable or wearable AR device with an installed AR application. By pointing the device’s camera at a specific real object or spot, the device adds virtual 3D object models to the existing environment. In this way, you can augment the physical world and interact with both real and virtual elements.

Q: What is your experience?

During 23+ years our team of professional developers has created more than 450 projects for 300+ clients. The experience of our employees and the high quality of our solutions allowed us to work with such prominent organizations as the United Nations, HTC, BBC, and SEGA. Focusing on AR/VR technologies, we have successfully created many projects that you can see in our portfolio.

Q: How is your service organized?

For Augmented Reality app development we can offer you two options: 1) dedicated team, consisting of a project manager, business analyst, designer, developers, quality assurance experts, DevOps, and any other members upon request. During the development process, you will be able to enlarge or reduce your team size. The team will work as a part of your business and tackle all the technical aspects. 2) or developers and QAs only, that will be managed by your project manager or product owner.

Сomprehensive AR development solutions, including design of 3D models and seamless integration of immersive content with the real world. With over a decade of AR development experience, we build innovative solutions tailored to your unique brand.
