Scenery \u2013 The Spatial Creation Suite you always wanted<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Scenery \u2013 a product by Amped Labs, Berlin<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Scenery removes the two things that stop most spatial projects: the build and the install.
\nBuilt natively on Apple’s frameworks, it gives designers, educators and brand teams the fidelity of a custom-built AR app \u2013 high-quality visuals, spatial audio, physics, hand tracking, and location-based AR with VPS \u2013 from a no-code editor on Mac and iPad. For technical teams a full JavaScript API and custom shader pipeline are just one panel away.
\nEvery experience becomes a link or QR code that opens instantly on iPhone, iPad, Vision Pro or the web. No download. No app review. No procurement.
\nThe same tool clears two different bars. 30+ universities: Stanford, Berkeley and FHP among them. Students get from idea to a working, shareable experience inside one course. Porsche, Sony Music and Paramount ship client work with it, alongside a growing roster of creative studios and enterprise teams.
\nSpatial experiences at production quality, on timelines and budgets that used to buy a prototype.<\/p>\n

NEXUS – Descision Spaces<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

XR Essential GmbH, Hamburg<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Projects rarely fail because of bad ideas. They usually fail because not everyone involved sees the same thing. With our platform NEXUS, we turn real environments into shared 3D spaces within minutes: browser-based, with multi-platform support, and fully immersive in VR when needed. Say goodbye to abstract 2D plans and complex CAD models that are hard to communicate, once and for all! Whether it’s high-resolution POS visualization, virtual showrooms, gardens or event spaces, or collaborative space planning, XR Nexus enables true spatial decision-making for everyone, with no technical background required.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

NEXUS empowers teams to interact together in digital twins in real time, from anywhere, to evaluate spatial concepts and make well-founded decisions on the spot. Powered by cutting-edge technologies such as Gaussian splatting, AI-generated 3D models, AI renderings and an AI co-worker.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

True to our motto: NEXUS \u2013 Decision Spaces<\/p>\n

2Sync SDK (v2)<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

2Sync GmbH, Potsdam<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

The 2Sync SDK is a developer framework for auto-adaptive mixed reality: XR applications adapt to any real-world room at runtime. One application, any number of rooms.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The room is scanned, and the SDK analyzes walls, furniture and surfaces. Developers use a constraint system to describe what they need, and the SDK calculates the placement and procedurally generates objects and environments in real time. This lets XR installations scale across locations without being rebuilt for each room. Room data stays local on the device, with no cloud involved.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since our last submission in 2023, we have fundamentally rebuilt the SDK and developed it into a production-ready framework: a new room scanner, room simulation, extended placement and 61 building rules, verified on Meta Quest and PICO, plus colocation across multiple building blocks (floor-point and two-point calibration).<\/p>\n
