VR & AR Application Development
Through Opaque’s AR & VR application development practice, we help organisations of all types and sizes create new custom software for immersive technology platforms.
Since 2011 we’ve developed an enviable track record- a tried-and-tested design workflow, dozens of successful case studies and tens of thousands of end users served. Opaque is a leader in the use of XR and immersive technologies to enhance business and training pipelines, and is trusted to deliver new software by all sizes of organisation from start-ups through to the Fortune 50 and national governments.
Our award-winning team based in Melbourne, Australia can help you design and build VR & AR applications, taking you from idea to installation and use, and making sure it’s done right at every step.
“I have no hesitation in recommending them as a highly skilled group who have built a strong expertise in developing empathic virtual reality experiences...”
What to expect
Focus on results first
We build to solve problems and exploit opportunities- we don’t like to use technology for it’s own sake.
Finding the right goals to measure success is a key part of our philosophy, and woven in to our design and development process.
Research-led
We always integrate a significant pre-production phase as part of our development cycle, which includes collating academic, user and expert research.
We’ve found that this structured, methodical approach significantly helps to target the right things first, reduce risk and keep ROI high.
The right tools
We help guide technology purchases early- we can help you navigate what to buy and when, and trade-offs of each platform.
We’ve built for a dizzying number of platforms- consumer-ready, experimental and boutique. Supporting Oculus Rift, VIVE, Hololens, Windows MR, ARKit & ARCore or something more? Not a problem.
High interactivity
We don’t just engage with immersive technology to tick a box- our work is highly interactive, engaging and built for results, not expediency.
Our team can help you use simulated and synthetic environments to train, prototype, communicate and mass-customize.
FAQ
We know we’d like to engage with VR/AR but don’t know where to start- what should we do?
This is a common dilemma across organisations just starting to define their immersive portfolio or roadmap, and we created our series of workshops to help address it. We’re always happy to talk and offer our perspective, even if you don’t have a concrete project in mind.
Can you help set up our innovation/XR lab?
We do help clients design specialized innovation centers, labs and installations, either in tandem with new custom software or to use with off-the-shelf software. Opaque can assist with procurement in either a direct or indirect manner, according to your preference.
Can you help build serious games?
Yes! Opaque has a storied Serious Games practice and can help you combine entertainment and education in a meaningful way.
How much will my project cost?
As with any large software project, AR & VR costs will vary considerably according to your scope and timeline.
We can help you get an answer fast- get in touch and one of our principle engineers or designers will help prepare a roadmap and quote for designing and delivering your project.
We work in a particularly niche domain- will Opaque be able to help?
Yes! We’ve developed somewhat of a specialty for eccentric or niche domains. Our designers and engineers are well accustomed to diving in to very domain specific issues quickly- including signals analysis for neuroscience research, simulation for resource industry sustainment and 3D visualization of genetics and health data to name a few.
Over almost a decade we’ve honed our process to ensure we can be the experts at working with your experts, and help them achieve their goals rather than force them to adopt ours.
Can Opaque build an application for resale, perhaps on an app store?
Absolutely- building applications for resale, or to list on Steam, Viveport etc. is not an issue.
Our team is applying for a grant, can we work with Opaque to apply?
We absolutely do support collaborative grant applications to help get great work off the ground. However, it’s critical you reach out to us beforehand and obtain our permission before listing us. Get in touch below and we’d be happy to discuss further.
