Virtual Reality Company South Africa

We developed a custom virtual reality rugby game for Huawei for the Rugby World Cup.

Their scores and names went into a nationwide leaderboard. We hired out full Oculus Quest virtual reality kits to the customer with foot trackers, and our services also included nationwide setup and technical support at each of the 6 center court malls that ran this activation for a duration of 6 weeks nationwide around South Africa.

Afriten Technologies is a trusted virtual reality company in South Africa, specializing in creating world-class VR content.

Take a look at some of our previous virtual reality work that we have done by checking out our videos here.

We developed a custom boxing VR game for the Oculus Quest Virtual Reality headset that was used by multiple customers. In the game, players had a time limit of 1 minute and were surrounded by client products in a 360-degree environment. They could punch the products, causing them to shatter into pieces, and the products would respawn at a faster pace as the game progressed. Players received a score based on their performance and were ranked on a leaderboard. In addition to creating the VR game, we also provided rentals of gaming PCs with Oculus Quest VR headsets, VR quest link cables, and Full HD TV screens for display. Our team also managed technical support for these VR activations around South Africa.

Hiring of virtual reality headset to your event/exhibition/function
We have a range of games or apps or experiences from the Oculus Quest app store that you can select from, such as Beat Saber VR, Walk the Plank VR, Climbing VR experiences, Fruit Ninja VR, and many more. Alternatively, you can consult with us to create a custom VR app or experience for your brand or audience. We can also film your office or factory or plant in 360-degree videos for viewers to watch if they can’t get there or if you can’t bring your site or machinery to your event or exhibition stand.
We then handle the promoter/management on site. Our experienced and trained promotional staff will assist your guests in putting on the VR headsets, help them with use or troubleshooting, and clean the headsets after each use with anti-bacterial wipes.
Our management of the VR hardware also ensures the VR headsets are fully charged or have battery pack replacements to ensure the activation runs smoothly for a full day at your event without any downtime. We also manage the security of the expensive VR stock, so you or your staff don’t have to worry about it getting lost or stolen on site.
We also provide additional hardware such as TV screens on TV stands to allow passerby’s or other event guests to see what the person sees in the VR space. This creates a fun, memorable experience.
We provide some photos and feedback after each activation.

Our team of developers and animators use the Unity engine and C# code to create interactive VR content that allows event guests to navigate and interact with the virtual environment in real-time.

360-degree Video Production Services

Afriten Technologies offers 360-degree video production services for businesses looking to showcase their products, services, or spaces in an immersive way.

This can save time and resources, while still providing a virtual tour of the space. Our team has experience creating high-quality 360-degree videos for various industries, and we can work with you to create a customized solution that meets your specific needs and goals.

This was a VR 360 Video that we filmed for Barloworld Equipment, this VR experience which was used at Nampo 2022 and played to guests on our Oculus Quest 2 VR headsets. The client wanted to showcase their machines to guests at Nampo, working on site with their specific specifications. They couldn’t bring the machines to the site, so we chose to go this route. It was a huge success, and everyone loved the experience.

Augmented Reality Development Company South Africa

We are a leading augmented reality development company in South Africa. With over 15 years of experience, we have been at the forefront of AR development since 2008, when we created the first AR kiosk in South Africa for VW Polo.

Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that allows users to experience digital content in the real world through the use of devices such as smartphones, tablets, and AR glasses. It combines the physical world with the digital world, adding layers of interactive and immersive content to the user’s environment.

At Afriten Technologies, we offer a range of AR development services for various industries and purposes. Whether you are a marketer looking to enhance your brand’s presence at an exhibition, or an educational institution looking to create interactive learning experiences, we can create custom AR solutions that meet your specific needs and goals.

We created the first-ever augmented reality kiosk at an event in South Africa in 2008. The kiosk was used at a Volkswagen Polo launch in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban, running simultaneously for 6 weeks. See the video above for a demonstration of this innovative technology at this event.

Benefits of using AR for marketers

The benefits of using AR for marketers are numerous. It allows brands to engage with their audience in a more interactive and immersive way, creating a memorable and positive brand experience. AR can also be used to showcase products and services in a more dynamic and interactive way, allowing customers to try before they buy or get a better understanding of the product. Additionally, AR can be used to drive traffic to physical locations, such as stores and exhibitions, and can be used to collect data and track user engagement.
