Abu Dhabi’s story is told in its culture — Saadiyat’s museums, Qasr Al Hosn, the Grand Mosque, Yas Island’s energy. AR lets visitors step inside that story. With 200+ AR projects behind us, we build cultural and tourism experiences with the craft the capital’s institutions demand.
Abu Dhabi invests in culture at national scale — the Saadiyat Cultural District, restored heritage sites, world-class museums — and visitors arrive expecting depth. AR’s job here isn’t novelty; it’s interpretation: reconstructing what stood here centuries ago, revealing the stories inside artefacts, guiding visitors through experiences in Arabic and English with equal care.
That demands a different craft from retail AR. Historical accuracy matters — content reviewed with curators and cultural advisors. Tone matters — respectful, never gimmicky around heritage and faith. And bilingual execution matters — Arabic-first interpretation for regional visitors, English for international ones. Our 200+ projects include the scar tissue to get all three right.

The craft behind it: our augmented reality practice, 200+ projects deep.
Cultural AR runs on trust — here’s how we earn it:
Content pipelines include review stages with your curators and cultural advisors. Historical claims verified, narratives approved — accuracy is a deliverable, scheduled like any other.
Arabic-first interpretation where the audience warrants it, English with equal care — RTL-correct interfaces, native voiceover and typography. Tourists and residents both deserve the full story.
Variable lighting, patchy connectivity, thousands of daily visitors, devices ranging from flagships to budget phones. We engineer for the venue as it is — offline-capable, robust, maintainable by your team.
Exhibitions run for years. We build content management your team operates, asset pipelines that age gracefully, and architectures that accept new wings, new artefacts, new stories without rebuilds.
Our AR specialists — 3D artists, developers, experience designers — work from Kuwait City and Islamabad; we’ve never pretended to staff a capital studio. What comes to Abu Dhabi: creative workshops, on-site capture and scanning, curator review sessions, and launch support in your venue. The craft is remote; the collaboration is in person where it counts.
200+ projects of experience, zero pretense about where we sit. More on the model at our UAE hub.
What cultural institutions ask before commissioning AR.
Curatorial review is a scheduled project stage, not a favour asked at the end. We work with your advisors and subject experts, verify claims, and design the approval workflow around institutional pace — accuracy is contracted, not hoped for.
Yes — we engineer for throughput: lightweight WebAR, offline-capable where venues need it, tested on the device range your visitors actually carry. Tell us your footfall and we’ll design for its peaks, not its averages.
Bilingual as standard, with the primary language set by audience data — Arabic-first for regional visitors and heritage interpretation, English-weighted for international tourism. Both native-quality, both first-class.
Your team, with our training — content management designed for curators, not developers. New artefacts, new stories and seasonal content slot in without rebuilds. We stay on call; you stay in control.
Longer than retail activations — curatorial review and accuracy work set the pace, typically running several months for institutional depth. We’d rather scope honestly around your exhibition calendar than promise launch-day miracles.
Experiences, apps and the marketing that fills venues.
A working session with your curators and our AR team — accuracy, craft and governance from day one.
