AR Development
Custom AR App Development
for Retail, Learning, and Brand Activations
We build AR applications on iOS, Android, and the web — from ARKit and ARCore apps to WebAR experiences and large-format interactive installations. Shipped across museums, retail, and enterprise brand campaigns.
What We Build
Retail & Product AR
AR product visualization for e-commerce and in-store retail. Shoppers see products at scale in their space using their phone — higher conversion, fewer returns. ARKit and ARCore native, or WebAR for no-install experiences.
Museum & Cultural AR
Interactive AR and mixed-media installations for museums and cultural spaces. Our Meet Eva Here project for ArtScience Museum Singapore is a large-format AI-avatar installation that tracks visitor gestures in real time.
Brand Activations & Campaigns
AR social filters, WebAR landing pages, and branded marker-based experiences for experiential marketing campaigns. Designed to drive shareability, dwell time, and measurable campaign ROI.
Educational AR
AR learning tools for classrooms, museums, and training programs. Combines marker-based triggers with rich 3D content that reinforces concepts better than a textbook image or video.
Location-Based AR
Geolocated AR experiences for tourism, events, and outdoor activations. GPS-triggered content overlays that turn physical locations into interactive experiences.
Enterprise AR
AR remote assistance, field-service overlays, and training applications for industrial and enterprise teams. Integrates with existing asset management and knowledge-base systems.
Case Study Spotlight
Meet Eva Here — ArtScience Museum Singapore
Problem. Artist Shavonne Wong and ArtScience Museum Singapore wanted to transform a passive exhibit into an interactive experience that responded to visitors in real time — under a tight exhibition deadline.
Solution. Virtual Verse Studio partnered with Shavonne Wong to build an AI-powered avatar installed at ArtScience Museum Singapore. Displayed on a large screen, the avatar tracks and interacts with visitors via gesture and movement tracking — turning passive viewing into active participation.
Technology. Unity real-time runtime, gesture and motion tracking pipeline, AI avatar system, large-format display integration.
Outcome. Increased engagement and transformed passive museum viewing into active participation, delivered on exhibition deadline.
"The Unity build worked as intended, thanks to Virtual Verse Studio. The team was very responsive and quick at delivering, and internal stakeholders praised the service provider's accessibility and work culture." — Meet Eva Here stakeholder, via Clutch
Our Process
1. Discovery Call
Free 30-minute scoping conversation covering use case, deployment target (native iOS/Android, WebAR, installation), and timeline.
2. Scope & Proposal
Fixed-fee or milestone-based proposal within one week, including SDK choice (ARKit, ARCore, WebAR) and device support strategy.
3. UX & Prototype
Navigable AR prototype on your target device in 2–3 weeks. Test marker detection, tracking stability, and interaction flow before full build.
4. Build & Review
Agile bi-weekly sprints with deployable builds on your devices every two weeks.
5. Launch & Support
App Store / Play Store submission, WebAR deployment, and lifetime technical support on every project.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does AR app development cost?
AR app development ranges from five-figure WebAR experiences to six-figure enterprise AR platforms. A marker-based WebAR campaign can ship in 4–8 weeks; a full native ARKit/ARCore application with backend integration takes 3–5 months. Scope drives cost — number of AR scenes, 3D asset quality, and backend integration complexity are the biggest levers.
WebAR vs native ARKit/ARCore — which should we choose?
WebAR (browser-based) wins when reach matters more than fidelity: no app install, works on most recent phones, low-friction for marketing campaigns and retail product try-ons. Native AR (ARKit or ARCore app) wins when you need best-in-class tracking, occlusion, lighting estimation, or persistent AR — typical for museum installations, training tools, or flagship brand experiences.
Can AR work without an app install?
Yes, using WebAR. The user scans a QR code or taps a link, and the AR experience loads directly in Safari or Chrome — no install required. Reach is higher but some advanced features (occlusion, persistent anchors) are more limited than native.
What kinds of AR tracking do you support?
Marker-based (image or logo detection), markerless plane detection, face tracking (for try-on and social filters), body tracking, object detection, geolocation-based AR, and SLAM-based persistent AR. We select the right combination per project.
Can you integrate AR with our e-commerce platform?
Yes. We support integration with Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and custom e-commerce backends for AR product visualization, try-on, and checkout-connected AR experiences.
Do you provide maintenance and content updates after launch?
Every project we deliver includes lifetime technical support. Optional retainers cover new 3D asset additions, iOS/Android version compatibility, and feature expansions as the AR SDKs evolve.
