ABOUT
It is not about the cool tech...
It is about what the cool tech can do for an organization and its customers, partners and associates.
HorizonIRs was created to help our clients harness XR from Virtual Worlds to AR, VR and 3D gaming, something we have been doing for years. This work has touched over 30 organizations on the inside and from the outside, large and small, focused on the planning for and use of XR for business, education and organizational goals. And, we are just getting started.
HorizonIRs Values: Applied, Bottom-Line, High Consequence, Create Knowledge
Applied is an important word for our work. We don’t espouse visions of XR, we help our clients see it, plan it, and make it happen. We will meet your organization where it is today and help you move forward with XR technologies. Bottom-line based strategy that is actionable and well budgeted. Our clients are usually reaching for high consequence impact, when they reach out to XR, to change their market, increase their efficiencies, improve engagement, add innovation... we help make it happen. We believe our clients should own the knowledge they pay us to create, so we work hard to educate our clients so they own their XR vision.
We get that you need TCO, cost/benefit analysis, value proposition and end-user satisfaction assessments. We are enterprise and global thinkers in applied XR for learning, teaming, working, hiring, selling and wayfinding and more.
