A tablet held up in a room showing a doorway glowing at the edges, with a figure in a dark hoodie in front of painted Egyptian walls beyond it.

An AR portal is a doorway placed in the real world. Look through it and you see a virtual space on the other side. Walk through it and you pass from the real world into the virtual one.

We built a general gateway and a portal to Egypt, which opens from an ordinary room onto painted Egyptian walls.

Part of our mobile XR R&D.
