We don't follow trends... we set them
Geo AR has been at the forefront of the games for change movement since the beginning!
Magical Park was the world’s first geolocated augmented reality digital playground, turning public parks into fun adventures for families, long before it was mainstream. We developed the core technology, and the vision, before others even caught on.
Since then, we’ve continued to lead the way in areas like accessible gaming, social impact design and data-driven simulations.
If you’re looking for a creative partner to bring bold ideas to life, we’d love to build something with you that stands out and drives change.

With cerebral palsy, the students aren’t always able to count on their fingers. Wizard World of Numbers lets them learn in a different way.

I think Magical Park is brilliant, especially for those with autism. Cameron is 9; he's not one to go out and socialise. Today, we saw him interacting with other children, which is brilliant.
