InterKnowlogy has for many years been developing NUI software tool sets and applications for many of the top technology companies in the world, with a focus in AR and MR/holographic experiences. Along with Imagination Park's original immersive content we together now have a complete client solution for the developing AR /MR marketplace."

Our licensed toolset has over two years of advanced research in the worldwide marketplace for gaming developments with InterKnowlogy-created unique user interactions for AR headsets."
Joint Venture Mixed Reality Showroom
Later this year, and as a result of this joint venture, Imagination Park and InterKnowlogy will also launch a Mixed Reality Showroom product developed to allow major brand companies and advertisers to integrate 3D holographic images with AR headsets. The Mixed Reality Showroom is established to impact viewers by drawing them deeper into engaging experiences and will additionally support an advertiser's existing 3D content. The solution includes a cloud-based content management system for 3D holographic images automatically downloaded to AR headsets and rendered dynamically.
