iSee provide Augmented Reality solutions for organisations looking to develop deeply engaging experiences

We describe ourselves as platform agnostic.  This enables us to produce the right solution to meet our client’s brief and ambition, rather than be constrained by the technology.  But our preference is to work on the more versatile platforms familiar in the gaming sector which enables us to create sophisticated and high quality content.

We are flexible in our approach to publishing AR content, either through:

‘white label’ client branded AppsAR publishing platformsOur own iSee AR appOr, as an AR content provider to other digital marketing teams.

The individual experience and expertise of our team has enabled us to specialise in content for media, entertainment, sport and publishing.  But it is also important to us to establish firm credentials in practical everyday applications of Augmented Reality so we are working on material for the ophthalmic, education and corporate sectors.

We continue to push the boundaries of AR content creation – our work shown at the Gadget Show Live, 2012 demonstrated real time video streaming from 3D animations with additional graphics and text overlaid – a first for Augmented Reality.
