AR & VR Development Company in Dubai

Dubai immersive briefs land in three tiers, quoted per engagement in AED with 5% VAT itemised, and the jump between them tracks how much of the physical world you need modelled. The lightest is a single-headset Apple Vision Pro or Meta Quest 3 marketing demo, or a WebAR campaign activation for Mall of the Emirates or Dubai Mall. The middle tier is a production AR or VR app on App Store and Google Play, an Apple Vision Pro visionOS app, or a Meta Quest store release with multiple environments and multiplayer. The heaviest is an enterprise digital twin (DEWA substation, RTA depot, ADNOC facility, Emirates Airline cabin training simulator) with hardware-in-the-loop sensors, multi-user sessions, NESA-aligned security, and a Microsoft and G42 sovereign deployment. Hardware procurement (Vision Pro, Quest 3, Varjo XR-4, Pico 4) is quoted separately at list.

Yes. Apple Vision Pro launched in the UAE as part of the Middle East rollout, and Codazz has been building visionOS apps with the visionOS SDK, RealityKit, and SwiftUI 5 since the developer kit phase. We keep Apple Vision Pro hardware on our own device bench, run hardware-in-the-loop tests on every spatial release, and ship apps targeting the App Store for Vision Pro with explicit support for shared spaces, full spaces, and progressive immersion. The use cases this market funds span real estate spatial walkthroughs of off-plan units, hospitality concierge experiences, luxury retail try-on, aviation cabin previews, and museum-grade immersive content, and we build against exactly that brief. Eye and hand tracking data stays on-device under visionOS privacy and is documented in the PDPL record of processing.

Museum of the Future, opened by Dubai Future Foundation in 2022, sets the regional bar for narrative-led mixed reality, theatrical projection mapping, and curated AR. We have shipped narrative AR, large-format projection sync via Disguise or Pixera, real-time character rendering in Unreal Engine 5 with MetaHuman, and Unity HDRP scenes for hospitality and cultural venues that need that quality. Production is a multi-discipline package: creative direction in partnership with the client’s narrative team, 3D production in Maya, ZBrush, Substance, and Marvelous Designer, character work in MetaHuman and Reallusion, real-time engineering in Unreal or Unity, and Arabic plus English voiceover, subtitling, and UI. We do not pretend to be a creative agency on conceptual narrative work; for those engagements we partner with Dubai-based creative studios and own the engineering deliverable.

Critical-infrastructure digital twins in the UAE sit under NESA UAE Information Assurance Standards, Dubai Electronic Security Centre (DESC) ISR for emirate-level workloads, and the UAE Cybersecurity Council CCRF four-tier data classification. Twins for DEWA substations, RTA depots, and ADNOC facilities run on Unreal Engine 5 with Nanite for asset complexity and Lumen for lighting, host on Microsoft Azure UAE plus G42 Core42 sovereign cloud (Moro Hub has announced sovereign capacity for these workloads), and ingest live SCADA, BIM (Revit, IFC), and IoT telemetry through a secure gateway with NIST 800-82 alignment. User access uses UAE PASS for identity, MFA via WebAuthn, and role-based access tied to operational duty. Recorded sessions and screenshots are tagged at CCRF Secret or Sensitive and never leave the sovereign perimeter.

Arabic in immersive UI is more invasive than in flat 2D. RTL has to mirror in 3D space: spatial menus that open from the right hand on Vision Pro and Quest, gaze targets reading right-to-left across a panel, dialog flow following Arabic narrative direction, and bidirectional typography in floating labels. We bundle Naskh for body, Diwani or Thuluth for ceremonial headings, and Latin (Inter or SF Pro) for English, all loaded into the engine as SDF font assets so they remain crisp at any distance and angle. Voiceover is recorded in Modern Standard Arabic and a Khaleeji dialect variant for UAE-specific cultural references, with English as the second locale. Subtitling supports Arabic-Indic and Western numerals depending on the scene. Copy is reviewed by UAE-based linguists in headset, not on a flat screen.

For premium consumer activations we target Apple Vision Pro (now available in the UAE) and iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max for ARKit experiences with LiDAR depth. For broader consumer reach we target ARCore on Pixel 8 Pro, Galaxy S24 Ultra, and the wider Android Q-class device base, plus WebAR on 8th Wall and Zappar for friction-free QR and Instagram lens entry points at Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates. For VR consumer events we use Meta Quest 3 and Pico 4. For enterprise training (Emirates cabin crew, DEWA, RTA) we run Meta Quest 3, HTC Vive XR Elite, Varjo XR-4 where the visual fidelity is non-negotiable, and Pico 4 Enterprise. Hardware procurement is handled in AED through UAE-registered resellers (e& enterprise, du business, regional Vive and Pico partners). All consumer apps ship in App Store, Google Play, Meta Store, and Apple Vision Pro App Store with bilingual Arabic and English metadata.

Spatial computing collects sensitive personal data by default. Face mesh on ARKit and ARCore, eye tracking on Apple Vision Pro and Varjo XR-4, hand tracking on Vision Pro and Quest 3, and environmental scanning of homes, offices, and retail spaces are all subject to UAE PDPL, with DIFC Data Protection Law 2020 or ADGM Data Protection Regulations 2021 if your entity sits in a free zone. We run a PDPL impact assessment on every immersive build covering biometric capture, environmental data, and any cross-border export. On Apple Vision Pro the platform enforces eye-tracking data on-device, which we document in the PDPL record. On Quest 3 and Pico 4 we keep biometrics inside the sovereign perimeter. Recorded sessions and screen captures are encrypted at rest in AWS me-central-1 or Microsoft Azure UAE plus G42 Core42 sovereign cloud, and consent flows are presented before sensors initialise.

Yes. Emirates Aviation College in Dubai South already runs Emirates Airline cabin crew VR training, and the broader pattern is well established across UAE health and aviation. We deliver VR training programmes on Meta Quest 3, Pico 4 Enterprise, and Varjo XR-4 with Unity or Unreal, LMS integration (SCORM 1.2, AICC, xAPI into Cornerstone, SAP SuccessFactors, or Moodle), Arabic and English narration with Khaleeji dialect option, scenario authoring tools so internal trainers maintain content without re-engaging us, and analytics on objective scoring per trainee. Health-sector VR for DHA, DoH, and private hospital training (Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, American Hospital Dubai) follows the same pattern with DHA Sehhaty-adjacent data residency rules and PHI kept inside AWS me-central-1 or sovereign G42 cloud.
