Project overview

An AR-powered app brought the Worlds Away Festival to life by blending digital art, live music, and interactive experiences into one unforgettable journey. Tailored for high-impact events, the app made it easy to manage content, collaborate with artists, and engage festival-goers in real time. The result? A next-gen festival experience that turned every moment into something magical.

Technical Challenges

The primary challenge was developing an app capable of handling thousands of users interacting simultaneously, all while ensuring that the AR flowed smoothly and responded instantly. To make it all seamless, we needed top-notch back-end and Unity support, along with flawless cloud synchronization to keep the experience as smooth as possible, no matter the scale.

Our Goal

The client needed a scalable and interactive AR solution enabling artists' digital creations to merge seamlessly with the festival environment, thus delivering a groundbreaking live experience and setting new standards in event technology.
