the review
The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm the product manager in tech company. We deliver tools for training and consulting companies in the area of learning and development.
For what projects/services did your company hire 4Experience, and what were your goals?
Our main goal was to develop a VR soft skills training platform. We wanted it to effectively use gamification techniques to educate leaders and improve the cooperation of teams. The platform would work as a tool to supplement our training offer. We hired 4Experience to comprehensively develop the whole application from creating 3D assets and UI elements, through coding and programming, all the way to testing and performance tweaking.
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
After researching VR development companies online and comparing their offers, we decided that 4Experience would be the best choice for us. They had a versatile team and experience in VR training applications. We felt like they understood our needs and requirements and knew how to properly meet them.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
First, we presented the main concept and mechanics as we were responsible for their design. After analyzing our input, the team at 4Experience went on to choose the software and hardware that would work best for our project. We agreed on Unity, C# and Photon and the Meta Quest 2 headset as our target device. Next, 4Experience began creating the 3D models, scenes and interface elements as well as programming the application itself.
We met biweekly to review the progress. The training platform was also extensively tested by their QA team and us. As the project was coming to an end, we decided to make a version for the Pico Neo 3 headset too. Fortunately, this was something 4Experience had no trouble with.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
The core team consisted of a project manager, four Unity developers, three 3D artists, a UI designer and one main QA tester. Additional staff members were co-opted according to the needs of each stage of the project.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
All assets and elements of the application were of high quality, both in terms of graphic design and functionality. All in all, we received a complete and working product that we were satisfied with. The end users are impressed with the training platform too. They value its intuitive UI, engaging nature and effectiveness.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
4Experience uses agile programming methodologies. We met for review and planning biweekly via Google Meet. Additionally, 4Experience kept us updated on their Discord channel. Any issues that arose during development were addressed quickly and appropriately.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Their team was highly dedicated and engaged, we got the impression that they really wanted to help us and deliver a valuable product. All the necessary specialists were in-house employees and you could really feel that they had a lot of experience with VR applications. Their coding skills were top notch – the code was clean and clear.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
No, I don’t think so.

Multiplayer VR Arena
The project consisted of two modules: ArcViz and Arena. Both were based on the same core solution – a VR arena with motion tracking.
ArcViz enables viewing architectural designs in a VR arena on a 1:1 scale. Our client wanted to provide individuals from the architectural industry with an advanced and modern tool to showcase their designs. The idea was to use VR to make the experience immersive and implement useful tools in the environment.
With VR & motion tracking, the user can physically walk around the virtual space which makes the presentation a lot more realistic and natural. Our client’s goal was to offer virtual reality sessions commercially.
Arena is a VR motion-tracking shooter game for up to 6 players. It’s a PVP/PVE competition designed for a physical arena which makes the experience feel natural and more realistic than regular VR shooters. The business idea was to make a profit by selling game sessions to users.
VR Leadership Training
The action of this VR soft skills training takes place in a submarine and a helicopter during rescue missions. To properly run this training, seven people need to attend – five control the submarine, and two are in a helicopter. The app includes three different missions and tutorials.
The significant uniqueness of this project is the extraordinary communication mechanic. In the beginning, trainees only know about their responsibilities in the vehicle but have no idea what others can do.
Therefore, the only way to find out how to correctly complete a mission is to talk to others to discover in what position they are sitting and what their possibilities are.
These mechanics strongly focus on teamwork, as people are fully dependent on each other. Even when trainees in the submarine discover how to work together, they need to have perfect communication with the helicopter crew because every mission includes their cooperation.
This training platform was created for the Meta Quest 2 headset. We are working on porting the application to the Pico Neo 3 environment. This way it can reach a wider audience.
The technologies and tools we used for development include the Unity engine, C# and Photon. Our Art Team worked mostly with Blender and Substance Painter to deliver dedicated 3D models and environments.
AR Web App for Marketing
The original idea was to develop an augmented reality solution that could be used during industry events. The pandemic situation changed these initial plans.
Our client decided the application would be used to boost their marketing campaigns. They planned to run an internet campaign with a QR code that would transfer users to the AR web app.
The goal was to show potential customers the positive impact of using the CruiserMaxx Seed Treatment in an interactive and engaging way.
As a web-based augmented reality project, the application had to be optimized to work on different browsers and operating systems. We also put a lot of effort into ensuring that the interactive elements and 3D animations perform well on almost any hardware.
Furthermore, our goal was to create a QR code that would be an AR marker at the same time. We had to make sure it would work smoothly when printed on chalk paper and in different lighting conditions.
For this project, we used the Three.js framework for development. The AR web app was created for Chrome, Firefox and Safari and could be operated both on Android and iOS.
VR Safety Training: working on heights
The VR safety training app provides a safe and controlled environment, teaching good practice and incorporating multiple scripts, so that users could better remember the activities they need to perform.
See the dangers in a safe conditions. A realistic way of familiarizing a potential worker with the possible dangers that are part and parcel of working at heights, at the top of a skyscraper at the phase of its construction. The VR job training application raises awareness of workers who might be exposed to risks and thus, it makes them get more concerned about their safety. The application works on Samsung Gear VR devices.

VR Maps - brand awareness
The aim of the VR maps project was to create a platform where clients such as Bentley or some other sophisticated brand can create customer space/customer service points/showrooms in VR, in order to invite visitors to their space and introduce the brand and the company to them.
The VR application offers the possibility of purchasing and customizing office space. The VR maps app was to allow customers to move their business to virtual space.

VR Fitness application
Immersive fitness aims to transcend the average workout class. It’s an experience that’s both physical and mental, employing visual and auditory effects. By pushing the boundaries of sensory intake, participants are kept fully engaged, allowing them to reach their fitness potential.
We found the best flexible way to extend existing gym exercises, also how to use VR and other hardware to jump the experience on a totally new level of perception. The VR Fitness application in connection with sensors gives the best user experience.
Our team created several versions extended with different elements, the project consisted of many phases.

SERVICE: spinning bike prototype, VR fitness app, HTC Vive, sensors.
VR Training Simulator
The project involved moving from strictly paper-based training to VR training app that would best reflect the reality that the worker would face in the future.
The application is actively used in recruitment and training processes. The client uses a VR training application to eliminate downtime and make employees aware of what their work will look like. Work at the sorting plant is divided into three main modules, each of which concerns training at a different position.
CLIENT: DPD (delivery company)
SERVICE: 3d modeling, VR training simulator, HTC Vive Pro / Pico Neo
Proffesional Skills Training VR
We created professional skills training for a specific job where the user must perform a series of operations in a specific order. We modelled realistic representation of the workplace, added conversation elements that inform the user about his tasks + comments on the tasks step by step.
All these elements allow you to practice the practical skills that are essential in the workplace. They teach you how to avoid mistakes and to know what to look out for. Such VR training should be made mandatory for workers to avoid employee reluctance due to missing knowledge.
Platform: HTC Vive
Tech: Unreal Engine
AR Marketing Application - Products
The AR marketing application is useful not only for company representatives but also for customers wishing to familiarize themselves with the company's products.

VR Food Game: Attack of the Snacks
Our Client is a digital agency that specializes in scaling products to millions of users. The company is aware that understanding data is as important and oftentimes synonymous with understanding the customer. Data affects everything people do today – from product decisions to the way we think about marketing. That’s why they decided to combine health and entertainment by creating VR food game.
The challenge was apparently simple, yet it involved quite a number of intricacies: prepare a funny and dynamic VR game in which players would fight frightening junk food!
It may sound strange, but customers often ask whether a given company has already released a game. Why? Because doing so shows a certain attitude of the company toward its customers, which is important from an economic point of view.
Gamification provides an excellent opportunity to promote and attract new customers. Apart from that, it also makes it possible to earn some extra money. And this is precisely what we managed to achieve with this VR food game. We were more than happy to meet the client’s expectations once again.
Coal mine: VR safety training
The VR mine training includes all known scenarios leading to injuries, teaching miners the correct order of security operations. All the features of the app allow users to exercise the practical skills that are essential for their workplace. We combined realistic sounds of working machines with detailed graphics (based on real pictures) of the mining area and equipment - creating a highly immersive simulation of working conditions.
The wide functionality of the VR mine safety training includes moving around the realistic models of working equipment, which size and placement imitate the real working environment. As in real life, miners have their own set of virtual tools - which can be used in a few ways. All activities have their consequences, following a structure of a logical tree - created under the client’s strict supervision.
There is also a possibility for an ‘exam session’, where all tips and instructions are hidden - forcing participants to provide the right order on their own. Such solution should be mandatory for all workers in order to avoid employee reluctance due to missing knowledge (as well as to avoid worst-case scenarios, including death).
VR mine safety training decreases the cost of training by eliminating the necessity of going 700 m down the mine (which costs 30 min one way and can distract other miners). The application successfully facilitates every health and safety training until this day.
Future is digital: VR shopping experience
The client wanted an VR e-commerce application that would allow the customer to make real purchases in a virtual reality. The customer can test the use of selected products in an environment where they could really use them, check their parameters and view them in the smallest details.
Virtualization of purchases VR e-commerce experience is the solution that the most recognizable brands implement to their services nowadays. It is not just about the possibility of building a new engagement with the client. Now we can take the product we are interested with help of our virtual controllers, see it on a 1:1 scale, and even try it in the chosen environment.
It sounds like science fiction, but it is an innovative purchasing VR e-commerce platform that allows you to order items that you like, which you tested in virtual reality and know that in the real world their performance will be almost identical. That how it works.
Travel Catalogue in AR
Travel agencies - as well as other service-oriented enterprises - strive to engage potential customers more and more, offering a wide range of gadgets and additional benefits. A frequent procedure is also the use of the possibilities offered by the implementation of modern technologies: by building websites, social channels or mobile applications.
However, these tools are so common that their implementation does not distinguish the company in any way. Interactive AR catalogues allow you to present your destination in a completely new, original way. They illustrate selected locations, enabling them to experience them in real time.
The main purpose of the AR travel catalogue is to promote chosen places in unusual way. They engage the potential buyers in fun and exciting way, attaching interactive content to traditional paper catalogues. Now, the customer can read detailed description of their destination or just pull out their phone and start actually exploring it with movies, pictures or interactive AR models.
Interactive Storytelling: Scenes from World War II
The way we share experiences is nothing but the way in which we create stories and fill them with emotions.
For this project, we created a three-dimensional city in which scenes from the Warsaw Uprising are being played out. We put a lot of emphasis on the atmosphere of the places where the action takes place. The time of day, lighting and all additional props were important. We modeled and animated people, machines and weapons. We see insurgents in the ruins of the city. We implemented destroyed buildings, dying people, and planes that drop bombs.
It is the reflection of true events in which we can participate from the first person’s perspective. We have given up the controllers so that the player can focus on what is happening around him. There is no possibility of teleportation.
A person can only move within the area that is scanned by HTC Vive or OCULUS. Subsequent sequences of events are triggered when the player looks at a specific area. For example, if we perform an action, such as reading a note or approaching an object, another chain of events is launched. The whole app is made in Unreal Engine.
HoloLens maintenance demonstration
The client needed an application that would provide the employees with access to professional knowledge, no matter where they are located. With this application, railway workers should know how to conduct maintenance of selected rail components.
Thanks to the HoloLens training they can see their correct visual representations and get information about the individual components and maintenance procedures. The entire application was to be made for the Microsoft HoloLens device, completed with gestures, eye movement tracking and voice navigation.
Navigation in the HoloLens training app is done using gestures or voice commands. The user has a range of options to choose from, which are combined with an interactive three-dimensional hologram.
Innovative way of training: VR Leadership Training
Crisis situations occur in every profession. There are many businesses in which the reaction to the crisis is limited to the use of soft skills. However, there are many professions where the emergence of a crisis situation can lead to very dangerous situations related to the health or even the threat of life of other people.
In this case, standards and instructions must be followed, depending on when the crisis occurs. In a well-defined work environment, it is possible to define a specific number of situations that may be related to the emergence of a crisis.
A person who dives in a virtual environment, which is modeled in the smallest details, is immersing very quickly. A player easily gets into the whole situation and can use his knowledge and experience to deal with the crisis situation. In another case, VR leadership training is an excellent tool that tests resistance to stress and allows to see the effects of decisions in real time.
The client submitted materials related to the company’s current training courses. We analyzed them and proposed a scenario that conveyed the required message, taking advantage of our experience from previous training course developments.
AR interactive colouring book
The client provided us with a set of colouring books, which were to become the basis for creating “animated” models possible to see thanks to the use of mobile devices. The client supplied the colouring pages and asked us to prepare an application that would make them come alive on a smartphone’s screen after pointing the device’s camera at them. The colours applied on the card were also to be reflected in the form of extended 3D reality.
Here's how it works: we color the selected picture in the booklet. We run a dedicated application on your phone or tablet. When we direct the device's camera to our image, the application changes the two-dimensional side into a three-dimensional scene. We can see everything on the screen of our device. In addition, the application recognizes what colors we used and displays the same colored objects on the screen of the device. Thanks to augmented reality, these coloring pages come to life.

An engaging customer experience is key!
We developed a platform that would enable the presentation of subsequent products to potential customers in a similar manner turned out to be unprofitable from a business point of view. However, the fact remains that the initial idea was very inspiring, which allowed us to achieve more than satisfactory results. This project is undoubtedly a very intriguing way to promote and show key elements of a given device.
We created 3D models of the product and all of its components, taking care of even the smallest of details. This was the most important part of the project. We also added an animation that showed the product’s structure and all the individual elements in action.
Then, we placed everything in a 3D space. The navigation method we devised is very intuitive for every user. The single inspiring thought that accompanied us throughout the entire project implementation stage was the client’s statement: “A unique product requires a one-of-a-kind presentation.”
Doctors Without Borders: Healthcare NGO
The challenge:
Reducing the threat to the lives of doctors being sent to areas affected by armed conflict.
Scope:
The user arrives at a refugee camp as a doctor and navigates through a 3D environment of a village in the danger zone (complete with buildings, real machines, tools and other equipment). The task is to identify children and collect blood samples from them. The user must behave properly during the talks – with parents and soldiers alike – so that no one has any reason to cause problems.
Do small things with great love
We developed a training and educational application – a complex tool to support the learning process undertaken by doctors leaving for missions. Its biggest advantages are safety as well as an immersive, engaging and realistic experience. Not only does the application present real-life conditions, but it also simulates citizens’ and soldiers’ behavior, as well as conversations with them.
Additional simulated elements include various emergency situations, such as a mine-infested roadside, which requires specific actions (i.e. under no circumstances should you leave the road).
It was possible to launch the training in many different places at the same time which was a great benefit. The training can be repeated as many times as needed to measure and monitor the progress of individuals. It is a very important educational tool for the safety of future doctors working in dangerous regions of the world.
There were three major outcomes of the project:
- Reducing the loss resulting from improper or negligent use of machines.
- Employee training without interrupting the production process carried out by vital machines.
- Better educated employees due to enhanced engagement in training.

What challenge were you trying to address with 4experience?
We were looking for help with our VR app, which is an educational piece for the use of marketing and advertising an industrial project.
What was the scope of their involvement?
4experience assisted in developing our VR app, which is Oculus-based. Their team provided 3D assets for the VR experience and providing coding and development services, working in Unity, Autocad, and more. The app allows the user to shrink down and go inside a cell, so it’s pretty high-concept.
I provided them with UI/UX designs that I had mapped out with the client and concept art. They worked with me to develop three rough models based on the client’s guidelines. From there, they offered their perspective on how to heighten the experience and more effectively deliver on what the client wanted.
What is the team composition?
I worked primarily with three members of the 4experience team.
How did you come to work with 4experience?
I found 4experience through their profile on Upwork.
How much have you invested with them?
We have invested about $20,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
Our engagement with 4experience ran from August 2019–January 2020.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Our client was happy and so were we. This project was a big challenge because we were creating something that hadn’t been done before. 4experience did a really good job executing on that idea. The experience was put on display at conventions for those with a general technical background.
How did 4experience perform from a project management standpoint?
4experience is communicative and awesome at project management. The team proposed regular status calls without me having to push them to do so. 4experience always takes initiative, offering creative and logistical solutions. They’re adaptable and worked to make the product more effective.
What did you find most impressive about them?
4experience produces high-quality work and collaborates successfully.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, everything was great.

Please describe your company and your position there.
We're the Polish branch of an international parcel delivery company and operate mainly in the express road-based market. We strive for a more personal approach to delivery. We're continuously evolving our customer experience to deliver brilliantly simple solutions to make sending and receiving parcels easier and more flexible.
For what projects/services did your company hire 4Experience?
We needed a developer to help with parcel-sorting-line visualization design, VR simulation development, and animation.
What were your goals for this project?
There were three areas that required the team’s attention. First, we needed a way to teach our new employees how to pick up parcels from a semi-trailer and place them on a sorter properly and efficiently. Our aim was to teach our employees how to spot parcels of irregular shapes and sizes pre-emptively. Second, we wanted to teach sorting line workers how to properly pick up parcels from the conveyor belt to transfer them onto a perpendicular belt. Third, we needed to teach our employees how to transfer the parcels from the sorter to the semi-trailer. Our aim was to teach them how to optimally stack the parcels on the semi-trailer.
How did you select this vendor?
Our business partners told us about 4Experience’s quality work and detail-oriented approach.
Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?
4Experience developed three apps for the HTC Vive, which simulate a workstation with specific directions and locations. In the first app, their team configured the "conveyor belt to perpendicular belt" training simulator with three different speeds for the three different stages of training. In the second app, their developers configured the "semi-trailer to the telescopic sorter" training simulator with features that only allow parcels of a certain size and shape to be placed. They also created a special bucket for all irregular and untypical parcels and parcels longer than 150 cm inside the simulation. They programmed a report generator at the end of each stage with the number of mistakes made and a confirmation if they can proceed to the next stage. They also implemented an aggregated report generator that shows the number of parcels that have been sent incorrectly and on the number of parcels that have been passed through.
What was the team composition?
The team consisted of one graphic designer and two Unreal Engine programmers.
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
4Experience's training solution was incredibly versatile. We fully implemented the apps in our organization, constructed a special training room for them, and planned follow-up VR training sessions. We used the apps not only for training but for recruitment purposes.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
4Experience did a magnificent managing our needs and expectations. Their workflow was exceptional. Although the project grew as it progressed, 4Experience demonstrated an incredible ability to pack a lot of quality features in a rather narrow time frame.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
The quality of the apps was outstanding. The team modeled every single detail with such accuracy that the simulations feel lifelike. They were always supportive and understanding, even with the large scope of work we entrusted them with.
Are there any areas where they can improve?
The project took more time to complete than we initially expected. However, their team warned us about that in the beginning.

Using our technical documentation, they created sealing models and animations. The 4Experience team designed an entire room displaying our products using Unity 3D, Gear VR, and HTC Vive technologies. Their team made sure users could freely move around the room and preview all the products. They also configured our products to be interactive—allowing users to scale, calibrate, manipulate, rotate, and take them apart. 4Experience also added animations, technical details of our products, and background music.
In order to optimize the applications, our more complex models were put in a second virtual reality (VR) room. Their team created this room to allow users to see what operations are performed when assembling a particular sealing model (welding).
What was the team composition?
The team included graphic designers, who were responsible for object modeling and preparing the VR environment. It also included a lead developer, who was responsible for coding and preparing the apps.
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
The software and apps prepared by 4Experience are heavily used by our marketing department and our resellers. They reported to us that the technology allows them to present our products and principles of operation in an easy, entertaining, and accurate way. Because the size of the seals makes them difficult to transport in larger quantities, the apps came in handy by facilitating the presentation of our products. Apart from the visual impact, they also easily convened basic information to our clients. The modern designs they produced display an innovative image of our company.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
The team showed an exceptional level of professionalism and was open to all our challenges. They worked flawlessly according to a tight schedule and provided us with assistance at every stage of development. 4Experience delivered subsequent software builds every Thursday. On Fridays, the team held a meeting with us in order to review the current version of the software and apps.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
We were delighted with the team’s approach to our challenges. Their meticulous 3D modeling and attention to even the slightest details made a great impression on us. The way our products came to life in their software was nothing short of astonishing.
Are there any areas where they can improve?
The design of the virtual environment was a time-consuming problem. It took some time before they managed to work out a solution. It would have been much better if they had proposed several conceptual solutions in the beginning.

Please describe your company and your position there.
Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements PIAP was established in 1965 as a national institute, which basic task was preparing and implementing new technologies, utomation systems, production facilities and specialist measuring equipment in various branches of industry including special mobile robots application solds more than 18 country all over the world.
Nearly fifty years of our close cooperation with industry brought about a number of newly developed products and significant implementations. My professional and scientific activities focus on two main areas:
- Additive manufacturing technologies targeted at the needs of demanding industrial applications
- Mobile robotics targeted at work in harsh environments that are hazardous to human health and life, including potentially explosive areas.
For what projects/services did your company hire 4Experience?
We wanted a better way to demonstrate top-notch quality of our 3D printers. Massive, heavy components are often bulky to carry and might cause some disturbance to people nearby while in use.
It is also hard to visualize its true dimensions without asking the buyer to go directly into the company's facilities. The challenge here was to precisely reproduce the printer’s mode of operation by creating animations of the entire process (e.g. opening of some elements).
What were your goals for this project?
We needed a fully portable mobile app, that would be useful not only for the company’s representatives but also for customers wishing to familiarize themselves with the 3D printer offered by PIAP.
The basic idea was to show the visitors how a 3D printer device works. The goal was to provide the option to see the inside of the device.
How did you select this vendor?
4Experience was referred to us. We were looking for someone experienced, who offers high-quality products for competitive prices.
Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.
The application uses surface scanning technology to generate a 3D printer model in the scanned area. The user can approach the device, look closely at the printing process, press virtual buttons and watch an animation of the printer in operation.
Although the user has no influence on the animation itself, it is possible to view the components of the device from the inside. Basically, the app is able to show everything that should be included in the technical and operational documentation of specialist equipment.
What was the team composition?
I was responsible for managing the work as a Product Owner. At the vendor side, there was a PM, a Unity 3D developer, and a graphic artist.
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
The project served as a pilot for the implementation of new AR, VR and MR technologies in our innovative products, designed in accordance with industry 4.0 convention.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
We worked with a project manager. 4Experience’s team used the Scrum agile framework combined with regular stand-ups. During our weekly calls, we would go over and review progress. They also organized regular feedback sessions, as a result of which there were constant improvements being made to the project.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
The dynamics in the operation of the 4Experience team was important for us, both at the stage of application development as well as its implementation and technical support.
They are always available and extremely knowledgeable in the field of AR/VR development. Our company was on a tight timeline and strict budget to create a mobile app and 4Experience was the perfect partner. They always deliver the highest quality results and client satisfaction is their major goal.

Please describe your company and your position there.
Bad Bones is a team of ambitious people with experience in the broadly understood game dev industry. We are the developers of computer games as well as traditional games, we have been operating since 2017. At Bad Bones, I am the VR Implementation Manager.
For what projects/services did your company hire 4Experience, and what were your goals?
We hired 4Experience to create 7 characters for a VR game. Our goal was to perfectly reproduce human body movements and facial expressions. It was a challenge to fine-tune the light and shadow. The characters had to be perfect for the VR multiplayer game to best reflect reality to give our users an immersive experience. We preferred to focus on creating the game environment, scenes and levels, and outsource the creation of characters to an experienced company.
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
We have heard about 4Experience from our business partners. They were very pleased with the level of cooperation and communication. Recommendation and good feedback from other customers were decisive factors.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
4Experience has developed 7 game characters for HTC Vive, according to our specification. First, they prepared the character base. Then the characters were refined. The requirement on our part was that each character undergoes changes and gets new powers depending on the level of the game. That is why we worked on the project from the basic functions to the development of behavior and appearance. The graphic designer and animator used Unity assets, because it is in this game engine that we create our environment for users. Efficient communication and availability were very important, and the 4Experience team showed us that they can work at a really high level.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
The main communication was with the Project Manager. There was also a graphic designer and 3D animator in the team, who were also available to us.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
The game is under development (until October). However, the effects delivered by 4Experience promise a truly realistic experience.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
First, we planned most of the activities together with the Project Manager. Then, we met weekly, but when we had to contact also outside working hours, it was not a problem for them. We used different communication channels that suited us and the team immediately adapted.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Their ability to work effectively was impressive. We finished the project faster than we initially thought. Thanks to efficient communication, they introduced changes on an ongoing basis, they were also able to advise perfectly.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
When it comes to areas for improvement, nothing comes to my mind.

Please describe your company and your position there.
I direct media developments and user experiences related to software, media and mixed-reality. Our VR business, DreamTrace, offers next-generation VR visualization services and entertainment experiences.
For what projects/services did your company hire 4Experience, and what were your goals?
We wanted to create a multi-user, warehouse scale VR solution for both architectural walkthroughs and entertainment experiences. We have worked with 4Experience to create this solution from the ground-up, allowing us to custom-tailor both the backend and frontend experiences around our needs and the needs of our clients.
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
We searched Clutch and shortlisted 5 potential VR development studios. After interviewing each studio and speaking with references we decided on 4Experience largely for two reasons: first, communication was key.
We were able to speak directly with the CEO, his co-founding partner and several key members of the development team prior to signing a contract. Secondly, we felt encouraged by 4Experience's focus on AR/VR development — they did not sell themselves as a one-stop shop for everything. A specialized focus on VR engineering and development solutions is what we were looking for.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
4Experience reversed engineered our plan for offering two unique business solutions: architectural walkthroughs and entertainment experiences and were able to craft a plan for creating a "controller" that could handle both the backend and frontend experience via Unity.
This controller allows us to stage architectural walkthroughs of designs built in popular CAD software solutions and also allows us to create and launch multiplayer game experiences at our location-based VR facility.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We have worked with a Project Manager, two full-time developers, and a designer from the beginning. This group, in turn, is also supported internally by QA and their CTO.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
Our controller development with 4Experience has allowed us to fully launch a 2500 sq. ft. location-based VR stage near downtown Minneapolis, MN. We currently use this establishment for by-appointment architectural visualization walkthroughs. We feel that the execution of deliverables has consistently met or exceeded our expectations throughout the development process.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
Project management has been handled with a combination of tools like Clubhouse, Discord and weekly Google meet conferences. Communication has been efficient, enjoyable and positive throughout the process.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
High-level Unity development at affordable pricing, with a highly skilled, motivated and affable team. We were most impressed with the availability and flexibility of the team to support us while separated by different continents and time zones.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Introduction of QA earlier in the process could have potentially freed up more time for the developers, allowing them to spend more time creating new content and less time testing their own work.

Please describe your company and your position there.
Selleo is building collocated agile teams with an entrepreneurial sense of ownership. Since 2005 we have designed and engineered well over 150 web and mobile software projects. Through the years we have gathered a broad spectrum of industry expertise with a specialization in the development of custom business process management tools, digital dashboards, e-learning services, marketing platforms, data analytics, and processing solutions.
I’m holding the position of Chief Communication Officer being responsible for internal and external communication. Within the company, I help in creating the mindset which focuses on a self-driven growth towards ingenious mastery and knowledge-sharing culture combined with a participative approach to decision making and empowerment based on Management 3.0.
For what projects/services did your company hire 4Experience?
We would like to have an innovative VR solution to show our office and culture to both people applying to Selleo and our prospects. At that time we have observed that the client was much more prone to select us in his tendering process if he had the chance to visit us and see the company for himself. We have thus decided that we want to give that ability to all prospects that visit our website by incorporating a 360-degree virtual tour of our offices.
What were your goals for this project?
Our goal was to provide the opportunity to have a glimpse of the experience on how it is to work in Selleo. We wanted to show our environments and the people that deliver the service. An important part of the project was to incorporate the videos of us performing our typical daily activities on the clients we serve. We wanted to have a web version of the project for our clients and a Gear VR version to use during career fairs.
How did you select this vendor?
We perceived the solution to be based on virtual reality and we needed the provider to perform all the image acquisition on-site so we selected a local company for convenience.
Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.
The project was to design and acquire all the images and video shoots onsite and convert them to interactive 360 panoramas and videos. The videos included a pre-recorded lector who was guiding the user through the experience. The final experience was delivered in two variants: the first one was embedded on our website and the second one was playable on Gear VR devices which we used during events targeted at potential candidates for future employees.
What was the team composition?
I was responsible for managing the work as a Product Owner. At the vendor side, there was a PM, photographer, web developer, Unity 3D developer, and a graphic artist.
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
We have been using the virtual tour ever since during our sales process but also a few of our prospects mentioned that they are impressed by our offices and the daily routines we have presented even though they have only visited us virtually. As it comes to employee-related events our VR glasses are always a way to stand out and a fun experience that gives a glimpse of what it is like to work at our company. We got the EBStars Recognition for Best Digital Action at the 7th edition of the Employer Branding Stars.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
The photoshoot was professionally organized and took two days including the filming of the daily routines. At first together with their project manager we created a scenario and planned most of the activities involved.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
I know that at that time their VR technology was in the infancy and yet the vendor already an impressive portfolio of realizations. They had excellent knowledge of their domain.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Delivering the final product required some additional back and forth as some of the initial requirements changed during the production.

Please describe your company and your position there.
AR4vision is a product company and was created to develop the augmented reality application. Our team provides a wide range of services, from data presentation and visualization of 3D objects, optimization, training in augmented reality technology, to integration with other systems and data (IoT). I am the AR4Vision board member.
For what projects/services did your company hire 4Experience, and what were your goals?
AR4vision remote assist is an application for mobile devices with the system Android or IOS. One of the users during an audio-video call shares its image as seen by the phone or tablet camera. We hired 4Experience to create wider functionalities for the customers.
Both users have at their disposal tools in the form of holograms and they can make selections on the transmitted image. Moreover, the possibility to “freeze” the video in the field of view of the user’s glasses was required.
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
We knew 4Experience as a market leader and watched their portfolio. The decisive factor was the positive feedback from other customers.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
We set up 2 milestones including the main project steps. The first milestone was dedicated to the communication process (implemented Agora setup). The second was AR foundation solutions for usability app.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
The main person was a Project Manager and two developers. There was also a QA Tester who was available to us.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
The AR4Vision product is actually completed and sellable to customers. The 4Experience’s work they delivered fit our needs and business requirements.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
We planned the activities from scratch together with the Project Manager and developers as one team. We met twice a month, also outside working hours thanks to the team’s flexibility. We used communication channels like Discord, Google Meet, and working-time planning tools like Everhour.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
The most unique about the cooperation was the feeling that we work as one team. 4Experience developers are not afraid to face challenges. We can count on their advice and expertise, moreover, they often suggest possible solutions and share their technical knowledge.
The greatest impression was made by the high level of communication skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Nothing comes to my mind, the application is fully scalable.
4Experience delivered an application with impressive assets, graphic design elements, and functionalities. End users commented positively on the platform's intuitive UI, engaging nature, and effectiveness. 4Experience's dedication and agile programming methodologies were commendable.
