About

The Client is a global neurobiology R&D company with over 100,000 employees worldwide. The Client is driven by the mission to find revolutionary treatments of existing diseases and provide easy access to these treatments even in the least developed regions of the world.

Challenge

The Client wanted to create an AR application that would vividly demonstrate the working principle of their newly researched drug for a neurologic brain disease. They wanted the app to be compatible with iOS devices but lacked the competencies in both iOS and AR application development.

Solution

The Client commissioned VolgoTechnologies to deliver a proof of concept for AR application development. They provided their functional requirements for the PoC – and VolgoTechnologies assembled a team of a project manager, a 3D model designer, and an iOS developer to deliver it. The team chose Kanban as their project methodology to guarantee the highest productivity and ensure delivery in the minimum time.

The PoC development project started with design of 3D models that depict different brain cells affected by the disease. VolgoTechnologies designer used 2D and 3D pictures provided by the Client as references to create colorful, high-definition, and detailed models.

Results

The Client was very satisfied with both the detailed look of the 3D models and the stable functionality of the augmented reality features. They are currently planning to increase the budget for this project and deliver a fully functioning AR application that would show the effect of their newly found drug in more detail.
