Industries We Serve
Case Studies
Interactive Guest-Wand Experience for a Global Theme Park Resort
We supported a major theme park resort in developing an advanced interactive guest experience powered by handheld devices and real-time sensing technology.
Our work included early-stage concept evaluation, feature exploration, IP and feasibility review, technology selection, and roadmap development.
Working directly with both creative and engineering teams, we conducted a comprehensive assessment of emerging technologies — including wireless communication, sensing systems, accelerometers, and haptic feedback — to determine roadmap of several, scalable applications for guest interaction.
The result was a validated foundation for multiple releases of next-generation immersive experiences designed for high-traffic operational environments.
Real-Time Tracking & Wireless Power Delivery for Industrial Operations
We supported an industrial-technology client developing a next-generation wireless power delivery system designed to energize and track battery-free devices across large facilities. The system used a phased-array RF beam to transmit focused power to mobile devices—eliminating the need for on-board batteries and enabling continuous operation in environments such as factories, refineries, and remote field sites.
Our role focused on solving the critical challenge of real-time location tracking and dynamic beam steering for devices that had no power source of their own. We designed and validated an approach that allowed the system to periodically energize dormant devices just long enough for them to broadcast identification and status signals. These intermittent signals were then used to determine device position, movement, and orientation in real time.
The resulting prototype enabled scalable, battery-free sensing and tracking applications across manufacturing, oil & gas, utilities, and logistics—significantly reducing maintenance costs and enabling new classes of industrial IoT devices that operate indefinitely without power storage.
AI Model for Automated Visual Inspection of Analog Equipment – Custom Computer Vision Solution for an Energy & Industrial Client
We partnered with an energy-sector client to develop a custom AI/ML model capable of autonomously reading analog gauges, valves, and switches located in hard-to-reach or hazardous areas. Traditional inspection required personnel to physically visit each device, often involving costly shutdowns or safety risks.
Starting with a blank modeling framework, we designed and trained a fully custom computer-vision model tailored to the client’s specific equipment layouts, gauge styles, and environmental conditions. The model was trained to detect gauge faces, interpret needle positions, classify switch states, and identify abnormal readings with high precision—even under inconsistent lighting, weathering, or partial obstructions.
Because the model was developed from scratch rather than relying on publicly available models, the client gained proprietary intellectual property with clear freedom to patent the system and its inspection processes. We also developed workflows for on-site dataset generation, edge-device deployment, and integration with existing monitoring systems.
The resulting prototype demonstrated significant operational impact: automated inspections, reduced manual labor, improved safety, and real-time early detection of equipment anomalies in environments where sending personnel was costly or danger
Decision-Support Prototype for Identifying and Disarming Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) – Rapid-Response Prototype for a U.S. Defense Program
We collaborated with a U.S. defense organization to prototype a digital decision-support tool that assists field teams in identifying unexploded ordnance (UXO) and determining safe disposal procedures. UXO remains a significant global hazard, and rapid identification is essential to protecting both military personnel and civilians.
Our prototype used structured knowledge models to analyze field inputs—such as physical characteristics, markings, size, and condition—to match ordnance against a curated database of known devices. Once an item was identified, the system generated step-by-step safety guidance, escalation instructions, and procedures for notifying the appropriate personnel.
We focused on creating an intuitive interface that allowed rapid, low-error data entry under field conditions, and we designed a workflow that guided users from identification to recommended action paths. The system was also structured to integrate with future remote-expert or autonomous robotic-assistance capabilities.
The result was a validated prototype demonstrating how advanced decision-support tools could reduce risk, accelerate identification, and support safe disposal operations for unexploded ordnance worldwide.
Interactive Guest–Artist Collaboration Prototype for a Global Theme Park Resort
We developed an interactive prototype that enabled theme park artists and guests to collaboratively design customized artwork in real time. The system provided artists with a dedicated interface to document proposed design elements, adjustments, and personalization options while simultaneously generating a live visual preview for guests.
The platform synchronized design updates instantly, allowing guests to see how each customization would appear on the final artwork and to explore alternative concepts. Integrated cost-aware features helped both parties understand pricing implications as options were selected, ensuring clear expectations and agreement before work began.
The result was an enhanced creative collaboration workflow that improved clarity, reduced rework, and delivered a more engaging guest experience.
