SHIVOO STUDIOS

Working with Shivoo makes you more innovative

Once upon a time, a bunch of quirky coders, CG savants, 3D artists and branding gurus came together to help build the future of immersive experiences.

Cutting-edge technology, audacious content, and scalable solutions for Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality — and whatever comes next.

Our mission

Getting the R’s right

World-class Xtended Reality

AR, VR and MR, built with industry-standard and first-of-their-kind proprietary tools, alongside our own motion capture arena. Deploying CG worlds, custom animated avatars, and real functionality inside immersive apps, WebAR, and platform-agnostic VR.

Accountability

Made memorable

Anyone can hit a spec. We are after the results that people describe to someone else afterwards — and we stay accountable for them from the first storyboard to the last build.

Our services

XR Creation
UX and world building as immersive digital storytelling. Every user journey is storyboarded, with its functionality written in.
Mocap Arena
State-of-the-art 40′×40′ OptiTrack motion capture stage where ideas are put into motion.
Worlds & Characters
Project dependent — utilize our rapid development tools or in-house, bespoke design and modeling experts to get exactly what you need.
Sound & Music
Original music composition to match the experience rather than laid over it, with lyrics, and sound effects when needed.
Custom Coding
Behind the visual experience — our software engineers will employ best practices utilizing the latest tools, including proprietary software developed in-house.

Our core crew

  • An award-winning writer, director and producer who has worked on six continents, with a background in engineering and technology underneath it. Built an electronic synthesizer for a 7th-grade science fair, developed and sold a first computer game at fourteen, and has produced two feature films on human trafficking. Also has a 130mph tennis serve.

  • A C-level creative executive with 25+ years spent creating multi-sensory, hybrid digital and real-world experiences across gaming, entertainment, CG animation, data visualization and SaaS — and the branded offerings and intellectual properties that carry them into Web 3.0 and immersive media.

  • A multi-faceted professional working across motion design, production, art direction, editing, development and teaching. Specializes in making abstract notions tangible through design, video and tech integration.

  • A strategist, operator and storyteller with nearly two decades spent scaling global organizations — business optimization, people operations and creative production in the same person.

  • A self-described tinkerer, interested in XR since 2015. Builds the structural backbone and the interactivity of SHIVOO’s projects, with a standing interest in audio-visual experiences.

  • A professional software engineer with experience in embedded systems, machine learning, and full-stack development in aerospace and academic research. Building WebXR apps, DevOps solutions, and novel 3D asset pipelines at Shivoo. But he can't get his browser to work.

  • A BFA in Interactive Design and seven-plus years of graphic design, pointed at shaping the user experience of AR, VR and web projects through creative problem solving — along with the branding, logos and marketing material around them.

  • A 3D artist with extensive experience creating top-notch 3D models, rigs and animations, proficient in Unreal Engine across the full pipeline. A BFA in Animation on top of a technical engineering background.

  • Creates entertainment content across VR, AR and XR as a multi-instrumentalist, singer, actor, storyteller, writer, designer and puppeteer. Expertise in musical improvisation and custom audio production.

  • Over 25 years as an animator and art department lead in the USA and England, expert in pre- and post-production workflows and the industry-standard 2D and 3D applications.

  • A multimedia creative with a sharp eye for storytelling — a decade of acting, playwriting and projection and lighting design — who brings big-picture thinking to mocap cleanup, rigging and particle simulation.

  • A film and television graduate (Drexel University, 2024) who fell in love with editing while studying, and is now primary editor on several projects. The approach is about making every edit feel fresh.

  • A 50-year veteran of B2B and enterprise technologies who pairs expansive vision with operational precision, across marketing, creative development, fundraising and executive leadership at startups and public companies.

Explore our projects that have taken people beyond the physical.

PHYSICIAN’S WEEKLY — AR

This feels new

Point a phone at the poster in the waiting room and Physician’s Weekly’s spokes-bot pops out — hovering right in front of you, ready to walk a patient through a condition. This award-winning experience starts with layering PW, a branded avatar, over the physical world.

HEALTHY LIVING

We speak your language!

The PW “spokesbot” opens with a choice, not a lecture. English or Español — every caption, model and quiz after that flows in the language the user chooses.

COMMON CONDITIONS

Five places to tap

A figure with a marker on the head, the chest, the stomach, an arm and a leg. Each one opens the conditions patients ask about most — and each starts with the same line: you are not alone.

UNDERSTANDING TREATMENTS

Healthy and blocked, side by side in 3D

Two arteries, one slider. Drag it and plaque builds in the one on the right until the blood has nowhere to go — a visual demonstration of what a treatment is for, offered to patients who want to learn more about their choices.

DEMONSTRATING DISEASE STATES

A 360º understanding of your condition

A block of skin lifts its top layer: the plaque on the surface, the inflamed tissue under it. Experience psoriatic arthritis as an educational model you can hold in your hand, not a paragraph.

MYTHS ABOUT DME

Interactive quizzes

The questions patients bring to the appointment, asked back to them one card at a time — with the answer attached to the topic it is about. A 3D floating quiz that educates while you wait.

RECOGNITION — BEST IN SHOW, POINT OF CARE

71 unique experiences, 6,000 locations. One scan away.

This campaign won Best in Show — the best AR at the point of care. Over several years SHIVOO has built 71 unique AR experiences for Physician’s Weekly, appearing in 6,000 locations nationwide, every one of them a scan away.

IMMERSIVE PROMOS

Customizable even after deployment

Sales and Marketing campaigns come alive when they’re spatial and experiential, with built-in intelligence. Scan a QR code, see it spawn on location. Update the messages throughout the day, month or year.

SPATIAL GREETINGS

Turn the crank and the greeting comes out

A printed holiday card, scanned once, becomes a music box on the desk in front of you. The lid lifts, two gold bands telescope up out of it carrying SEASONS and GREETINGS, and the snow starts falling on the diorama inside.

IMMERSIVE INTERACTIVE

The experience comes to life

The mechanism is geared, not faked: crank, ticker, both bands and the drum all run off the same movement at their own rates. Then the drawer runs out on its own, at the end, the way a drawer does.

PERSONALIZED MESSAGES

And the note in the drawer is yours

The card inside is content, not geometry — a message set per recipient, per campaign, per day. Same box, same crank, a different thing to read at the end of it.

Back
IMMERSIVE COMMERCE

The whole appliance, on your counter

Point a phone at the worktop and the Ovente SGR85W lands there at full size — a smokeless indoor electric grill you can walk around and look under before you have decided to own one.

SPATIAL DEMOS

Tap the lid to see six layers of features

The glass cover lifts clear, the grill plate follows it up, and the heating tube, the insulation plate and the drip drawer each leave in turn. The body stays where it is, because everything else comes off it.

EVERY LAYER NAMED

A spec sheet you can walk around

A double U-shaped heating tube. A heat-insulation plate between it and the body. A drawer-type water collection tray. The parts a carton would list down one side are the parts you are looking at.

THE PRODUCT IN THE ROOM

View it in your space and decide

No showroom and no unboxing video — the appliance itself, at the size it will be, on the surface it will sit on. And from the same experience, one tap goes to the listing.

Back
PRINT AR (BROCHURE FRONT)

Activate your print material

A price, five photographs, four bedrooms and 3,540 square feet — and down in the corner, a QR code offering to introduce you to the agent. Point a phone at it and a video of the property plays and your real estate agent appears: the one promise paper has never been able to keep is about to jump off the page.

PRINT AR (BROCHURE BACK)

Floor plans brought to life

The sheet turns and lies down, and the floor plan on the back becomes a tabletop. The house comes up through the paper — whole and closed, the way it was printed — and the agent the code promised comes up with it, saying hello and looking at you whichever way you turn the sheet.

PRINT AR (BROCHURE BACK)

Tap to reveal

The roof lifts off and stands beside the house; the second floor slides clear. A dollhouse you can look into, at the size of your hand, on the brochure that came in the mail.

INTERACTIVE DETAIL

Examine awesome features

Four bedrooms, two full baths, a half bath, a three-car garage, 3,540 square feet. Each icon pops and lights its rooms on the plan — the features listed down one side are the rooms you are looking at.

IMMERSIVE COMMERCE

One-sheets that become take-home experiences

The same piece of paper the agent carries during the walk-through becomes an interactive experience each prospect can take home after the walk-through. Floor plans come to life as a sales avatar guides the buyer through the property — scan and see the value (no app to install). That is the beauty of Shivoo’s WebAR capability!

IMMERSIVE WELLNESS

Vitanya Brain Performance

Vitanya is an established proprietary neuro-technology platform created to optimize cognitive capacity and resilience under stress. During the treatment you’ll hear two tones, a slightly different frequency in each ear. The brain hears the difference as a pulse — and follows it. Watch the waves travel in from either side and meet in the middle: where they add up, the neurons light. This is binaural-beat therapy made visible! Users see the benefit as it happens, alpha and theta moving through the spheres of Vitanya therapy, inside a VR headset.

CORE BRAINWAVE TRAINING

Beta to alpha to theta

A session charted minute by minute — alert, then focus and flow, then deep rest, and back. The wave slows and changes color as the binaural treatment progresses; the chart keeps the score.

IN THE PARTICIPANT’S HANDS

Immersive spatial experiential therapy

Volume, brightness and distance are the participant’s to set, from inside the headset. The treatment stays visible while it works.

ON THE FOREFRONT

Analytics you can feel

Binaural beats, therapy, analytics — the session you just scrolled through is an overview of what the participant sees combined with what the practitioner reads afterwards. A virtual experience as well as highly beneficial therapy that Vitanya participants have called life-changing.

AR ENTERTAINMENT

The show goes on

Immersive storytelling is spatial, sensory and memorable. With a phone or a headset the story leaves the stage and moves into your world — and the audience walks into it.

TAP ONCE

A door in the air

Dreams of Dracula puts a portal in the room you are standing in. Walk forward and you are inside his chamber — stone, velvet and candlelight — free to look in every direction.

ON THE DESK

Read his private letters

Candlelight, a quill, the pages of his diary laid out to be read. Above them a portrait whose eyes never leave you, whichever way you turn.

BEHIND YOU

Look back. The way out.

The real world waits through the door behind you. A second mode, the Immersive Portrait, sets a gothic archway in the room where Dracula and Lucy beckon whoever stands in it.

ON THE APP STORE

Dreams of Dracula

On iOS and Android: the portal, the portrait, a photo booth with the vampires and the sounds of the creatures of the night. Rated 18+.

Back
AR ENTERTAINMENT

Spatial table top performances

AR entertainment layered over the real world: a 360° performance that appears out of thin air, on the table in front of you.

THE SET

A city rises for her

Forty crystal towers grow out of the table — the set for a spoken-word session, built in Unreal and placed on your desk.

MOTION CAPTURE

Every nuance, captured

Motion capture takes J Rose’s voice, movement and emotion and turns the live performance into a living avatar — and the city moves to the take. Powered by Unreal Engine.

POETRY JAM SESSIONS

Unreal Poetry

The title lights up and the roses bloom around the stage — then the whole thing turns, so you see every side of it.

XR, ANYWHERE

Performance, anywhere

From an AR overlay on your desk to full VR immersion — built to evolve, expand and resonate wherever the story needs to go.

IN DEVELOPMENT

Spatial Physical Therapy with active feedback

In a world where physical therapists’ schedules fill up, both patients and practitioners can turn to Physio.Xi to keep improvement on track. Physical therapy patients can now advance their progress at home with an avatar trainer that guides and monitors physio-prescribed exercises spatially — going beyond printouts or videos.

Physio.Xi ON THE FOREFRONT

Next level real-time instruction

Physio.Xi sessions are in VR, so patients will be putting on lightweight, powerful headsets, becoming immersed in seamless interaction between the physical and digital worlds. During the physiotherapist’s instruction the participant experiences active feedback and AI correction — markers appearing on the body indicating and analyzing, as the patient does the work.

INTERACTIVE IMMERSION

Every rep counted and corrected by AI

The exercise, the rep counter and the range of motion read off the movement itself. A tracked skeleton mirrors the form beside you — so a good “hip hinge” is something you can see, not something you are told.

IMMERSIVE COACHING

Your trainer, in the room with you

A coach who never has to ask where you are in the set: the count, the timer and the next exercise stay in front of you, and the ideal form stands beside you, translucent, matching your movement.

IMMERSIVE WELLNESS SOLUTIONS

The future of immersive wellness is taking shape

Shivoo Studios, in partnership with Preform movement technology, is moving the bar on active feedback technology. Imagine XR environments that adapt to your needs, anticipate your actions, and provide real-time insights to support your health and wellness. Stay tuned to see where we take this next!
