Success Story 

Our agency experts have selected the following case study to showcase how professional AR/VR companies use advanced immersive tech to realistically depict a town's culture and history: 

  • Challenge: The museum of Banská Štiavnica, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Slovakia, sought to modernize its service by creating an immersive historical VR tour. The company employed Onix-Systems for a VR solution that would realistically showcase the town’s rich history while overcoming the technical challenges of digitizing historical artifacts. 
  • Solution: Onix-Systems optimized a 16-million-polygon model of the town for real-time rendering. The team used advanced tools, namely Houdini and Unity, to simulate realistic water effects like flooding mines and implemented shaders to enhance textural detail in cave environments. They also incorporated 3D character animations, including facial expressions and synchronized speech, to give life to historical figures. 
  • Results: The VR app sophisticated the museum experience, allowing visitors to explore Banská Štiavnica’s history through immersive and interactive scenes. Onix-Systems' solutions increased the museum's visitor engagement and strengthened its reputation as a forward-thinking cultural institution. 

How do I choose the best AR & virtual reality developer for my business?

To choose the best AR & virtual reality developer for your business you can consider some of the following steps:  

  1. Define project scope and goals 
    Identify the scope and purpose of your AR & VR project, preferred platform, target audience, specifications, and features.  
  2. Research agencies
    Look up potential partners on search engines and trusted directories like DesignRush or through industry recommendations and referrals. 
  3. Verify client satisfaction
    Go through their reviews. This will shed some light on their previous work, reliability, output quality, and ability to meet deadlines.  
  4. Find project details and outcomes
    Perform portfolio and case study analysis. Find out whether the potential companies have already served clients in your niche or worked on similar projects.  
  5. Submit request for proposal (RFP) 
    Narrow your search to up to five companies based on experience and expertise, technical capabilities, and technology stack specific to your domain or business vertical. Communicate your intent to work with them and send an RFP to gauge their understanding of your project. Then, schedule meetings for in-depth discussion.  
  6. Evaluate technical knowledge 
    Assess their knowledge of VR software development kits (SDKs), application programming interfaces (APIs), UI/UX, Extended Reality (XR), cloud service platforms, and testing frameworks. Ensure they have advanced computer vision, desktop, web, or mobile programming, 3D modeling, and 3D animation skills.  
  7. Discuss project management and workflows 
    Check if they have well-established product development, release, and maintenance processes. Find out how they create their strategies before developing specific products and solutions. Make sure they can adapt their templates, methodology, and best practices to your project. 
  8. Inquire about complementary services  
    Ask if they provide training, adoption, and analytics support, as well as ongoing maintenance, updates, and consultation services to ensure sustained functionality and optimal performance. 
  9. Compare, evaluate, and choose an agency partner
    Thoroughly assess pricing, contract terms, confidentiality, and intellectual property agreements, while also evaluating company culture, responsiveness, transparency, collaboration, and project management practices. Such an evaluation will help you establish a trustworthy and lucrative partnership.

What red flags to watch out for when hiring VR & augmented reality companies?

The red flags to watch out for when hiring VR & augmented reality companies are as follows: 

  • Generic proposals 
    Avoid agencies that offer templated solutions without taking the time to understand your vision or industry nuances. A lack of customization may indicate a deficiency in creativity and expertise. 
  • Lack of pipeline optimization 
    Be cautious of companies that overlook the importance of streamlined development processes, particularly for creating and optimizing 3D assets for AR/VR. Inefficient pipelines can lead to performance bottlenecks, device strain, and diminished user experiences. 
  • Limited integration support 
    Look out for agencies that don't discuss how their solution will fit into your existing tech stack (e.g., CRMs, IoT devices, or gaming platforms). This is a red flag as a standalone AR/VR app without integration can limit usability and reduce ROI. 
  • Neglecting UI/UX design 
    Pay close attention to agencies with portfolios lacking examples of intuitive gesture control, gaze tracking, or spatial interaction. Poorly designed interfaces can break immersion and frustrate users.  
  • Absence of real-world use case testing 
    AR/VR solutions need to perform well in diverse lighting, spaces, and user contexts. A company without real-world testing may overlook critical usability issues. 
  • Inconsistent spatial mapping expertise 
    Avoid agencies without tangible experience in spatial mapping or environment tracking. Inconsistent or poor mapping can ruin immersion and functionality. 
  • Inadequate focus on accessibility 
    Seek agencies with a strong commitment to inclusivity in their design and development practices. A lack of accessibility limits audience reach and can expose the business to potential compliance discrepancies and diminished reputation.
