ALLO Virtual Store
ALLO is the biggest Ukrainian electronics retailer with more than 400 stores in Ukraine.
They came to us with the problem of not having enough space in their physical stores to showcase large pieces of home appliances and electronic devices.
WeAR Studio created an augmented reality mobile application that allowed users to open the door to a virtual store from anywhere. They used ARKit and ARCore to build the app and gave customers the ability to view unlimited goods in full-scaled size. The result was an app for iOS and Android that provided a revolutionary AR-based shopping experience in a virtual store.
Pepsi Summergram AR Filters
AR Instagram filters were developed as a part of Pepsi’s 2019 Summergram marketing campaign aimed to get the attention of young consumers, keep them engaged, and drive up the sales of their soda drinks throughout the whole summer.
Made using SparkAR technology, these filters were unlocked via QR codes available on the labels of over 200 million bottles of Pepsi drinks.
FairTrade AR
B2B AR application for FairTrade - a leader in the global movement to make trade fair. Designed to help producers in developing countries achieve better trading conditions. Members of the fair trade movement advocate the payment of higher prices to exporters, as well as improved social and environmental standards.
This application is only the first step in our cooperation with the organization. This version is made to invite more producers join the movement and later on release a B2C app that would educate a consumer about their partners, tell stories of the producers, augment the packaging and locate the nearest point of sale.
ARGram for Minipeeps
Our client, Minipeeps design and development studios is located in Beirut, Lebanon and they are disrupting the greeting cards and gifts industry using Augmented Reality.
Choose a character, customize your very own message and send this AR greeting using our application. The project has both B2C and B2B components to it.
We also showed our common participation in 4P East Med Exhibition - http://www.4peastmed.com/
Metinvest

Budweiser AR
Experiences of tomorrow, lifestyle of tomorrow, people of tomorrow – this is the concept of Tomorrowland – one of the world's largest and most notable music festivals.
Applying the technologies of tomorrow for marketing today is the idea behind brand new packaging AR activation dedicated to the Tomorrowland festival that we've created in collaboration with our partner ZIR Brands for BUD.
OKKO AR App 2018
OKKO is a chain of gas stations with the goal of improving customers’ brand loyalty and long-term communication with the help of an AR app. WeAR Studio developed an app designed to make the refueling process more interactive and give a more festive feeling to a person’s coffee break.
The team integrated the product with social media platforms that enables users to share photos of the coffee cups. The result was an increase in sales of coffee products in the gas stations.
Skoda AR App
How do you combine a century-long history of the brand, big cultural event, and technology? Of course, by using unlimited AR possibilities! That’s how we integrated Skoda into Cirque du Soleil debut show in our home city - Kyiv, Ukraine.
As a general partner of the event, Skoda wanted to impress Cirque visitors. Our storytelling app would walk you through the history of the brand from the very first Skoda product, bicycle Slavia (1895) to its newest futuristic electric car - Vision 4.
As an additional feature, you could play around with models and place them in the world. How did this app end up in dealership centers across Ukraine? Find out in our new video case!
Mojokaii AR App
Mojokaii AR is a marker-based AR app created for the Mojokaii gaming booster by WeAR Studio. The fascinating video effects and anime-themed characters tell a unique and immersive story for each of the three booster’s tastes.
UNICEF Mine Awareness VR
UNICEF Mine Awareness VR is a virtual educational simulation aimed to educate both kids and parents in the Donbas region on the invisible dangers in their region. It consists of an immersive 10-minute simulation video in which users learn about the signs of danger on an imaginary journey home and the way to bypass them safely.
OKKO AR App 2019
One of our favorite seasons - Christmas and its festivity inspirited in this amazing activation! OKKO AR - Christmas 2019 edition.
One of the biggest gas station chains in Ukraine has returned to us for new fun case. Last year we have created a project with animated choir of mascots - This year we created a music band playing Christmas songs from the coffee cups. And you can sign karaoke! Do it well and win discounts!
Simple yet engaging activation created using marker recognition, 3D animation of the characters and loyalty program integration.
