Nexus Studios Launches Gilda AR
The world-first, proprietary suite of tools and techniques solves the critical challenge of augmented reality by creating “AR-ready” locations that have been mapped in order to experience multiple realities on top of that location. Gilda delivers believable hyper-realistic experiences, most recently evidenced by its launch of Samsung’s recent epic AR activation at AT&T Stadium, home to the Dallas Cowboys. Gilda is pioneering the use of new Visual Positioning System technologies such as Scape and 6D.AI to accurately locate us within the real world. The platform’s innovation is in scanning the environment to create an accurate digital twin from the resulting photogrammetry. Then in-engine tools allows Gilda to bring to life engaging content and experiences in the real-world location.
“Imagine you could use any environment as a blank canvas for a compelling and interactive digital experience. With Gilda, you can do just that. Gilda enables users to experience the next level of augmented reality through captivating storytelling, which includes hyper-realistic characters and environments. Whether it be utilized in gaming, sports, theme parks or museums, the potential for “Enhanced Location” activations is now endless, with Gilda as the key to unlocking the future of location-based augmented reality.” — Chris O’Reilly, co-founder, Nexus Studios
