      We partnered with HyperSense through their TechBoost program, and they truly impressed us with their deep understanding of our business needs. They provided invaluable support with our marketing, website, and product UI/UX, which has resulted in significant traction with both customers and investors. As we continue to grow and develop our product, we look forward to working with them again. The HyperSense team is highly skilled, reliable, and trustworthy. We highly recommend their services.

      UI/UX Design Review from Ele Munjeli

      My experience with Hypersense came through their Techboost program for startups. I needed help to design a very complex UI/UX for a website dedicated to planning farm operations with agricultural robotics and other advanced networked devices. While I spent a considerable amount of time in the field gathering requirements, I felt overwhelmed by the implications of designing for such a complicated scenario. Hypersense came to the rescue and delivered a beautiful UI with a clear path for the users (farmers) to explore and develop advanced automation across crops and seasons. It took a lot less time than I expected; the team was engaged and asked all the right questions from the get go. That made it easy to let go and trust the pros at the agency with design decisions. As an engineer, I am one to have my hands on every part of my work, but in this case, I found, to my relief, I could just say: do what you think is best. As a result I learned a lot about my own application. The team did not just design wireframes - they designed elegant interactions and workflows that made sense. The UI prototype was styled as well, and the team provided terrific advice on how to upgrade the existing styles for my applications to give them better web appeal and usability. The resulting design is expressive, engaging and inspired. Hypersense provides service that was more than professional - it was personal. I came away from the work with a better sense of what I am building, how to build it, and how the application will be used. I highly recommend Hypersense and will work with them again whenever I have the opportunity.

      Cross-Platform Review from Jessica Queen

      HyperSense developed a command dashboard for a new wireless medical monitoring device Omedus is creating. Their professionalism and dedication to the project were wonderful. The figma demo they created exceeded our expectations and we have had significant increase in product interest after using their demo with our customers. Omedus would absolutely recommend them for other companies and we plan to continue to engage their services for our own.

      VR/AR Review from Wojciech Pander

      AR4vision remote assist is an application for mobile devices with the system Android or IOS. We hired 4Experience to create wider functionalities - the hologram tools on the transmitted image. Moreover, the possibility to “freeze” the video in the field of view of the user’s glasses was required. The most unique about the cooperation was the feeling that we work as one team. 4Experience developers are not afraid to face challenges. They often suggest possible solutions and share their knowledge.

They worked effectively, efficiently, and transparently throughout the engagement.

      Consumer IoT Review from Mason Ferlic

      GripFusion is a sports technology startup developing Tactile Intelligence. Our flagship product, the ForceBall, is the first grip-sensing baseball. We approached Atomic Object with the challenge to build a React Native iPad app to connect with the embedded electronics over BLE and visualize sensor data in real time. Atomic stepped up to the plate and hit a home run! They took early R&D code and we're able to successfully navigate IoT challenges, large amounts of sensor data, and seamless UX. The developer team worked closely with our technical staff to incorporate evolving firmware and hardware improvements. The design team did hundreds of hours of user discovery and product feedback to ensure we deliver a cutting-edge experience. Overall, Atomic has the breadth and depth to tackle complex hardware-software systems.

      As a freelance Video Producer, I recently wrapped up another fun project with the folks over at Atomic Object, and I've gotta say, it was an experience worth mentioning. Collaborating with their marketing team on a series of authentic and engaging customer-facing and internal videos was nothing short of fantastic. Their seamless planning and logistics during pre-production, coupled with easy going personalities during production, made the process a breeze. Post-production brought our collective vision to life with meticulous story editing and videos that reflect their unique culture and values. Their team's dedication to kindness, empathy, and diversity made this collaboration not just successful, but truly enjoyable.
