      Software Development Review from Anonymous

      We had created a conceptual framework to authenticate and verify the provenance, transaction history, and authorship of blockchain-based NFTs. Talentica was brought on board to test and refine the concept from both functional and engineering perspectives, and later to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) aligned with the agreed specifications and constraints.

      Software Development Review from Anonymous

      For several years, the team was composed entirely of Talentica contractors. Since January 2022, I have been directly managing them. The Talentica team handled the admin tooling backend, which included multiple Python Flask services with Postgres and Elasticsearch. These services operated in a service-oriented architecture deployed on Kubernetes, using Istio for service mesh and Spinnaker for deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions about Virtual & Augmented Reality Companies

What are the red flags when evaluating VR & AR agencies?

The biggest red flags when evaluating AR and VR companies are a portfolio full of demos with no real-world deployments, vague answers about device compatibility, and case studies that emphasize visual impressiveness rather than business outcomes. 

Watch for these specifically: 

  • No deployed work: Prototypes and concept demos are not the same as experiences that went live, scaled, and held up. Ask whether the work is still in use. 
  • Can't name the hardware: A serious augmented reality or virtual reality development company will immediately tell you which devices they've built for and which they haven't. Evasiveness here usually means shallow expertise. 
  • They haven't pushed back on your brief: Good AR/VR agencies will tell you if your use case doesn't need immersive technology. If they're just agreeing with everything, they're selling, not advising. 
  • No post-launch references: Building is one thing; what happened six months after launch is the real test. If they can't connect you with a client past the delivery stage, that's a problem. 

How do I know if my use case actually needs VR or AR, or if a simpler solution would perform better?

Your use case requires VR or AR when the experience depends on spatial interaction, physical simulation, or the placement of digital content in a real environment. If a video, standard app, or 3D model on a screen can deliver the same result, the simpler option is usually better, faster, and cheaper. 

A few useful checks: 

  • Does the user need to interact with the environment or just watch?  
  • Is physical scale or spatial context important?  
  • Would the experience lose value on a normal screen?  

If the answer is mostly no, you probably do not need VR or AR yet. Strong virtual and augmented reality companies will tell you that early instead of forcing immersive tech into the project. 

What do VR & AR agencies charge that most buyers don't expect?

Most buyers budget for the initial build and underestimate the ongoing costs. A VR or AR agency usually prices the experience itself, not everything needed to maintain it long term. 

The costs that surprise buyers most often: 

  • Hardware: VR headsets, AR devices, device management tools, replacements, and upgrades add up quickly.  
  • Content updates: Environments, training scenarios, and product visuals need regular updates to stay useful.  
  • Platform maintenance: Updates from companies like Meta or Apple can break compatibility, and fixes are usually billed separately.  
  • User onboarding: Employees or customers often need training, support materials, and setup help that were not included in the original scope. 

What's a realistic timeline to go from a brief to a deployable VR/AR experience?

Building an AR/VR app usually takes between 3 and 12 months, depending on the complexity, features, integrations, graphics quality, and team size. 

  • Simple AR apps: Around 3–6 months  
  • More advanced VR platforms with custom integrations and high-end graphics: 6–12+ months  

The timelines increase when the project includes: 

  • Custom 3D modeling and animations  
  • Cross-device optimization  
  • Real-time interactions  
  • Enterprise integrations  
  • Extensive testing and post-launch support 

What's the difference between a good VR/AR agency and an average one, and how do I spot it before signing?

A good VR or AR agency focuses on the problem first, not just the technology. Average agencies talk mostly about what is possible. Strong ones explain what actually makes sense for your goals, budget, and users. 

Before signing, look for these signs: 

  • They ask about your target device early and design around its limits  
  • They have a real process for testing the immersive experience with users  
  • They can talk openly about projects that went wrong and what they learned  
  • They clearly explain asset ownership, file access, and what happens if you switch vendors later  

If an AR or VR company avoids these conversations, push harder before committing.

  • They have a real process for testing the immersive experience with users  
  • They can talk openly about projects that went wrong and what they learned  
  • They clearly explain asset ownership, file access, and what happens if you switch vendors later  

If an AR or VR company avoids these conversations, push harder before committing. 

How do I evaluate VR/AR work if I have no technical background?

You do not need a technical background to evaluate VR or AR agencies well. Focus on business outcomes and user experience, not the underlying technology. 

A few things to look at: 

  • Ask them to explain a past project in simple terms: the client’s goal, how success was measured, and what results they achieved.  
  • Try a real product they built, not just a polished demo. Pay attention to comfort, usability, and how natural the interaction feels.  
  • Ask how they test experiences with real users before launch.  
  • Speak to a past client and ask one question: Would you hire them again? The answer usually tells you more than a formal reference. 

What happens when the technology evolves mid-project? Who absorbs the cost of changes?

Technology changes during VR and AR projects are common. New device releases, platform updates, and SDK changes can all affect the build. If the contract does not clearly define responsibility, expect to pay for the extra work. 

Before signing, clarify: 

  • How the agency handles platform or device changes during development  
  • Which costs are covered by the original scope, and which are billed separately  
  • Whether they include a post-launch compatibility or support window  
  • What happens if companies like Meta or Apple release updates that require rework  

A strong VR or AR agency will separate technology-driven changes from client-requested scope changes and explain both clearly upfront.

How do I know if a VR/AR experience is actually driving business results vs. just looking impressive?

A VR or AR experience delivers real business value when it improves a measurable result that existed before the project started, not just when it looks impressive. 

The right metrics depend on the use case: 

  • Enterprise VR: training completion, error reduction, faster onboarding  
  • Retail AR: dwell time, conversions, purchase confidence  
  • Marketing experiences: engagement, recall, interaction rates  

What matters is comparison. You should be able to measure performance before and after launch. 

When evaluating VR or AR agencies, ask for examples where they tracked a business metric from deployment to results. If they can only show visuals and demos, that is not proof of impact. 

How do I know if a case study in VR/AR actually proves what the agency claims it does?

Most VR and AR case studies show that a project was built and looked impressive. Far fewer prove that it actually delivered results. 

To evaluate a case study properly, look for four things: 

  • What was the business goal before the project started?  
  • How was success measured?  
  • What were the actual results and over what timeframe?  
  • What was the baseline or alternative without VR/AR?  

If a case study cannot answer those clearly, it is mostly a portfolio piece, not strong evidence. 

The best VR and AR agencies can walk through at least one project end-to-end with real numbers, measurable outcomes, and clear business impact.
