Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started
Simple AR experiences (filters, single-marker games) start at $15,000–$40,000. Mid-complexity AR games with multiplayer and location features range $50,000–$200,000. Large-scale location-based AR games like Pokémon GO-style titles can exceed $300,000+.
Simple AR experiences take 2–4 months. Mid-scope AR games take 4–8 months. Complex location-based or multiplayer AR titles take 8–18 months. We deliver working AR prototypes within the first 3–4 weeks for early device testing.
For native iOS, ARKit with LiDAR delivers the best tracking. For cross-platform, Unity AR Foundation covers both iOS and Android. For browser-based AR (no app download), 8th Wall or WebXR. We recommend based on your target audience and distribution strategy.
Yes. We build outdoor AR using GPS positioning, Google Geospatial API, and Niantic Lightship for VPS (Visual Positioning System). This enables location-based gameplay, real-world landmarks, and city-scale AR experiences.
We use ARKit/ARCore light estimation to match virtual object lighting with the real environment. Our shaders adapt to ambient light intensity and color temperature, and we test across bright sunlight, dim indoor, and nighttime conditions.
Yes. We implement shared AR using Apple's MultipeerConnectivity, Google Cloud Anchors, or custom networking. Multiple players see and interact with the same virtual objects anchored to the same physical location in real time.
