Filmmaking in Augmented Reality: An application to help filmmakers

The film industry isn’t new to mixed reality -- the visual effects industry has been mixing real and computer-generated (CG) elements for decades, and the complexity of those effects has grown incredibly.

Case Study: Mixed Reality Easter Egg Hunt

The first largest out of home augmented reality experience

Extend Your Phone Screen with the HoloLens

The HoloLens has three main inputs: voice, gaze and gesture.

Improving UX on our Hololens light-controlling app using 3D space

Our mixed reality experiences are continuing to evolve as we expand  our practices in holographic UX.

Controlling lights with the Hololens and Internet of Things

OHVR: Our MVP of virtual reality for real estate is ready for testing

We just finished scanning our fourth property for the second MVP [http://new.afternow.io/ohvr-our-mvp-of-virtual-reality-for-real-estate-is-ready-for-testing/] of OpenHouse VR. It was a beautiful one-bedroom condo in the heart of West Hollywood. This is an exciting milestone as we'll have an app available for Android and Apple in the next few

Through the looking glass: Developing early holographic UX

When you walk into our office at HTML Fusion, the first thing you see is a semi-transparent screen about the size of a New Kids On The Block poster. In our impatience to get our hands on commercial hardware, our team has built our own homegrown augmented reality contraption. Using
