SCENE 01 / AR PRODUCTION
AR Production
Augmented reality experiences for your Irish project.
Here is how this works in practice. Augmented reality production integrates digital elements into real-world environments in real time, creating interactive and visually boosted content. Ireland's thriving tech sector—with global players headquartered in Dublin's Silicon Docks—gives a strong talent pool for AR and immersive technology development.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with AR production pros across Dublin and other Irish cities who combine tech expertise with creative vision to deliver compelling augmented reality content. Our team sets up the hardware, software, and talent needed to produce AR experiences that engage audiences and elevate your project's visual impact.

On Location
Egg Post Dublin and Yellowmoon Belfast AR delivery, paired with London LED stages
Here is how this works in practice. Ireland's AR-production capacity is emerging — the domestic XR/AR bench leans on established Dublin post-production facilities. Egg Post Dublin and Yellowmoon Belfast (post + delivery). Hybrid work pairs Irish stages with London LED stages such as ARRI Stage London and Garden Studios.
Here is the short of it. The Northern Ireland Screen-supported BBC NI fantasy and drama AR overlays. Senior AR-delivery briefs cover Tourism Ireland + Fáilte Ireland Wild Atlantic Way interactive AR campaigns. Plus AR experiences at Newgrange Brú na Bóinne UNESCO, Skellig Michael UNESCO (off-site AR), the Giant's Causeway UNESCO and the Trinity College Long Room.
Here is the breakdown. Camera-tracking flows through Mo-Sys StarTracker + Mo-Sys VP Pro + Vicon Vero stage-tracking infrastructure paired with Unreal Engine 5.4 nDisplay + Disguise xR + Pixotope real-time-graphics runtime. Hybrid LED-stage AR-extended-set work pairs Irish stages with London LED stages for the heaviest tentpole-feature AR composite work. We help eligible productions access Ireland’s 32% Section 481 credit, with 40% rates available for qualifying Scéal and VFX projects.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. We coordinate customs documentation for AR inventory between Republic, Northern Ireland and London same-week. Ardmore Studios + Ashford Studios deliver strong greenscreen-AR composite alternatives where dedicated LED capacity is unavailable. Bilingual EN/Irish (Gaeilge) AR-content localisation is standard for TG4 and Gaeltacht-language deliverables. ATA carnet through Revenue Commissioners clears imported AR rigs cleanly.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What platforms do you develop AR for?
We develop for iOS (ARKit), Android (ARCore), WebAR for browser-based experiences, and social platforms like Instagram and Snapchat. Platform selection depends on your target audience and experience needs.
Do users need to download an app?
Not always. WebAR allows users to access AR experiences directly through their browser without downloading anything. For more complex experiences, dedicated apps give better performance and features.
Can you create AR for Irish landmarks?
Yes, Ireland's heritage sites give great AR chances—imagine visitors seeing historical reconstructions of historic estates or animated characters at famous locations. We can create location-specific AR experiences.
What about AR for marketing campaigns?
AR is powerful for marketing—product visualization, interactive packaging, and brand experiences. We create shareable AR content that engages audiences and drives social media interaction.
How do you capture content for AR?
We use many techniques including photogrammetry (creating 3D models from photos), LiDAR scanning, and traditional 3D modeling. The method depends on what you're recreating and needed quality.
What's the production timeline for AR?
Simple AR filters take days to weeks. Custom AR apps mostly need several weeks to months. Complex location-based experiences may take longer. We give detailed timelines during planning.
