SCENE 01 / AR PRODUCTION

AR Production

Augmented reality experiences for your Australian project.

Scroll

Here is how this works in practice. Augmented reality production integrates digital elements into real-world environments in real time, creating interactive and visually boosted content. Studios like S1T2 in Sydney have pioneered AR experiences for brands and cultural institutions. Australia's tech scene continues to drive fresh ideas in immersive content.

Here is the short of it. We connect you with AR production pros across Sydney and Melbourne who combine tech expertise with creative vision to deliver compelling augmented reality content. Our team sets up the hardware, software, and talent needed to produce AR experiences that engage audiences and elevate your project's visual impact.

Augmented Reality Production for Australian Brands and Broadcasters

Here is how this works in practice. Our augmented reality production teams across Australia build on Unreal Engine 5.4 (Niagara, Lumen, Nanite), Unity AR Foundation, Meta Spark, Snap Lens Studio, and Apple RealityKit/ARKit pipelines, with markerless tracking, SLAM-based world anchoring, and ARCore/ARKit cloud anchors for shared multi-user experiences.

Here is the short of it. Sydney delivery hubs work with Animal Logic (the Lego franchise pipeline lead) on real-time rendering, broadcast graphics shops support ABC, SBS, Seven, Nine, and Ten AR sport graphics for the F1 Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park, the Australian Open at Melbourne Park, the Melbourne Cup, AFL Grand Finals at the MCG, NRL Grand Finals, the Bathurst 1000, and Big Bash League cricket.

Here is the breakdown. Brisbane and Gold Coast teams support tourism AR (Tourism and Events Queensland) experiences for the Great Barrier Reef (UNESCO 1981) and Daintree (oldest tropical rainforest at 180 million years). Melbourne crews deliver retail and OOH AR for the Yarra Valley wine and Mornington Peninsula tourism markets.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. The Australian AR pipeline is in tech mature thanks to the Disney Studios Sydney LED Volume (Thor Ragnarok, Thor Love and Thunder) which trained crews in real-time Unreal-driven workflows, the Village Roadshow Studios virtual production stages on the Gold Coast, and Animal Logic's real-time VFX pipeline (the Lego franchise) — all of which feed back into AR production talent.

Here is how the picture comes together. Cross-border partnerships with ILM Stagecraft Los Angeles and Weta FX Wellington (3-hour Sydney-Auckland flight) extend the Asia-Pacific AR pipeline. We set up Producer Offset 30% and PDV Offset 30% (5M+ AUD QAPE) forms through Screen Australia, state PDV rebates stackable up to 40%+ good via Screen NSW, VicScreen, and Screen Queensland, and OAIC privacy compliance for any biometric or facial-tracking AR experience.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What platforms do you develop AR for?

We develop for iOS (ARKit), Android (ARCore), WebAR for browser-based experiences, and social platforms like Instagram and Snapchat. Platform selection depends on your target audience and experience needs.

Do users need to download an app?

Not always. WebAR allows users to access AR experiences directly through their browser without downloading anything. For more complex experiences, dedicated apps give better performance and features.

Can you create AR for Australian landmarks?

Yes, Australia's heritage sites give great AR chances—imagine visitors seeing historical reconstructions of heritage homesteads or animated characters at famous locations. We can create location-specific AR experiences.

What about AR for marketing campaigns?

AR is powerful for marketing—product visualization, interactive packaging, and brand experiences. We create shareable AR content that engages audiences and drives social media interaction.

How do you capture content for AR?

We use many techniques including photogrammetry (creating 3D models from photos), LiDAR scanning, and traditional 3D modeling. The method depends on what you're recreating and needed quality.

What's the production timeline for AR?

Simple AR filters take days to weeks. Custom AR apps mostly need several weeks to months. Complex location-based experiences may take longer. We give detailed timelines during planning.

Productions in Australia that need this often pair it with Virtual Production, LED Wall Virtual Production, and Virtual Reality Filming for full coverage. Most projects also draw on Wireless Audio Systems and VFX Artist.
