Quickly import your slides and 3D objects to create a more immersive pitch using GATEWAY.

Have you ever had an app idea meant for mixed reality, but don’t have the ability to build it?

Have you ever had an object that you wanted to quickly see in the real world, but didn’t want to go through the hassle of creating a whole project in Unity?

Have you ever wanted to freely create in your physical world with a library of 3D content to pick from?

Get GATEWAY for HoloLens — p0.ai via Edge

For a limited time, we are giving away 10 free Practical Immersive Deliveries (PIDs for short) to all new users. PIDs allow you to easily deliver content to a device, whether it be your own assets or from our library.

One day soon, you can have your entire setup anywhere you go.

With the “Anything Persists.” release, you can begin to overlay any physical environment with digital content. Within seconds you can import almost any piece of visual content and have it delivered to your device, no programming required. This tool can be used for entertainment, to organize your workspace, or amplify educational experiences.

Hide virtual objects and let someone else seek them out.

Check out our tutorial to get started with GATEWAY.

If you don’t have an in-house artist and want to source from an external library of assets, you can borrow ours. Our build portal has over 10,000 models, particle effects, lighting systems, and more for you to explore. Can’t find what you need? Let us know on Discord and we will do our best to add it in on the fly.

Access new tools to teach.

With this release, the possibilities are endless. In the next few weeks, we will flood the web-waves with video content and ideas on how anyone can use GATEWAY to prototype, teach, build, or explore with spatial context. Next up, we plan to bring this immersive world to mobile, enabling a future where devices can collaborate and share across the bounds of platforms.

Get Involved!

We are on a mission to paint the world in 3D and we cannot do this alone.
