AR / VR development · Mixed reality
Mixed reality development Dubai organisations commission from Next Orbit places digital objects in a real space: a product configurator on the showroom floor, an exhibit that comes alive when a visitor approaches, or a maintenance guide pinned to the machine in front of a technician. We build on Unity with OpenXR and on the native Apple visionOS tools, so one content strategy covers Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, phones and tablets. A central CMS lets your team change scenes, languages and content without a developer.
Quick answer
Mixed reality development Dubai companies need blends virtual content with the physical world on a headset, a phone or a transparent display, so a visitor, buyer or technician sees information exactly where it belongs. Next Orbit, a Dubai software company, designs and builds these experiences for showrooms, exhibitions, museums, sales galleries, government visitor centres and industrial maintenance. We work in Unity with OpenXR for Meta Quest and similar headsets, in Swift and RealityKit for Apple Vision Pro, and in ARKit and ARCore for phones and tablets. Every project includes a content management system, analytics on how people move through the experience, Arabic and English content and, where useful, an AI guide that answers questions from approved material. Hosting is cloud or a dedicated deployment where your compliance rules require it.

Deliverable 01
Buyers configure a villa, a vehicle or a kitchen at full scale, swap finishes and see the result in the room they are standing in. Options, prices and availability come from your CRM or ERP, and each session can be saved to the lead record for the sales team to follow up.

Deliverable 02
Exhibits respond to a visitor, overlay animation on a physical model and switch languages on request. A CMS lets the venue team update scenes and text for a new season without a developer, and analytics show which exhibits hold attention and where visitors drop out of the route.

Deliverable 03
Native visionOS applications built in Swift with RealityKit and SwiftUI, for executive briefing centres, premium showrooms, design review and training. We handle spatial design, hand and eye input, shared sessions and App Store or enterprise distribution, and we test on real devices in our Dubai office before release.

Deliverable 04
Step-by-step guidance anchored to a machine on a phone, tablet or headset, with torque values, part numbers and checklists from your maintenance system. A remote expert sees the technician view and draws annotations in the scene. Work orders are closed with photos and readings sent back to your CMMS.

Deliverable 05
Navigable 3D environments for off-plan property, hotels, facilities and heritage sites, built from laser scans, panoramic photography or BIM models. Tours run in a browser, on a headset or on a showroom screen, with hotspots, floor plans, Arabic and English narration and lead capture tied to your CRM.

Deliverable 06
A web CMS holds scenes, 3D assets, text, audio and languages, with roles for venue staff and marketing. Analytics record dwell time, paths and interactions per exhibit or configurator option, exported to your reporting tools so content decisions rest on evidence rather than on opinion.

Discovery CallThe work is delivered from one office in Dubai across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, the whole UAE and the GCC.
As an augmented reality company UAE clients approach for visitor centres, sales galleries and plants, we also cover the virtual tour development Dubai developers and hotels ask for, built from laser scans, photographs or BIM models and navigable in a browser or a headset.
Showrooms where a product is too large or too varied to stock, exhibitions that must change often, and plants where a technician needs the procedure in front of the machine.
Unity and OpenXR for Quest-class headsets, Swift, RealityKit and visionOS for Apple Vision Pro, ARKit and ARCore for mobile, and a web CMS for scenes, text and languages.
A tested headset or mobile application, the CMS and analytics, device setup for the venue, Arabic and English content and a support agreement that covers OS and headset updates.
Architecture-first
Before a line of production code is written we draw the system: the people who use it, the services behind it and the systems it must talk to. This reference architecture from our AR / VR development practice is the starting point we adapt to your operation.

How it runs
5 stages, each with a deliverable you can review and sign off before the next begins.
We map the venue or task, the audience, the devices in play and the content that must change over time.
Spatial design, storyboards and interaction rules are reviewed on a prototype before production content is built.
Scenes, 3D assets and the CMS are produced, with Arabic and English content loaded and tested on target devices.
Headsets, displays and tracking are set up at the venue, staff are trained and analytics are checked live.
Content updates, OS and headset updates and new scenes are handled under a support agreement with your team.
Who it is for
Full-scale villa and apartment walkthroughs in the sales gallery before construction finishes.
Configurators and showroom experiences for stock that cannot all be displayed.
Exhibits that animate, explain and switch language without a guide present.
Pavilions and launch events with content a team can update between shows.
Maintenance guidance and remote assistance pinned to the equipment in front of staff.
Virtual tours of hotels, venues and attractions with booking links built in.
Questions, answered
Yes. Next Orbit is a Dubai software company that builds Unity applications for mixed reality, VR training and interactive displays, as single projects or under a support agreement. We use Unity with OpenXR for headsets, Unity for touch screens and kiosks, and Swift with RealityKit where Apple Vision Pro is the target.
Augmented reality overlays information on a camera view, usually on a phone or tablet. Virtual reality replaces the surroundings entirely in a headset. Mixed reality places digital objects in the real room so they respond to walls, tables and hands, on devices such as Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro. We pick the format from the task, not the fashion.
Yes. Projects are designed and built in our Dubai office and installed at venues in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and across the UAE and the GCC, including exhibition halls, visitor centres and sales galleries. On-site installation, staff training and a live check of tracking and analytics are part of every delivery.
Yes. Text, narration, labels and menus are stored per language in the CMS, with right-to-left layout handled in the interface, and visitors or staff switch language inside the experience. Additional languages for tourism or events are added as content rather than as code.
It depends on the audience and the venue. Meta Quest suits events, training rooms and public exhibits where many headsets are needed. Apple Vision Pro suits premium showrooms, executive briefings and design review where image quality and passthrough matter most. We often build the content once and publish to both.
Ask to try a working build on the target device, not a video. Check that the company covers the full stack: 3D content, application, CMS, analytics and integration with your CRM, LMS or maintenance system. Confirm who updates content after launch and how headset and OS updates are handled under support.
Yes. Configurator options, prices and availability can be read from your ERP, and sessions, selected options and contact details can be written to your CRM as a lead with its history. For maintenance, work orders and readings are exchanged with your CMMS through its API.
