Reimagining the intersection between digital and IRL
Every app tries to keep you staring at a screen for longer. We're doing the opposite.
We’re leveraging audio to create experiences that leap off the screen and into the real world, bringing you closer to the people and the world around you.
We’re creating a new kind of augmented reality
AR is more than just experiencing the world through a 4-inch screen held in front of our faces.
What’s possible when we abandon the harsh rectangular constraints of a tiny glowing screen?
What’s possible when we embrace audio’s fundamental strength?
…that audio doesn’t exist trapped on a screen but exists overlaid and interwoven with the real world.
We’re leveraging audio to create an entirely new category:
What is PairPlay?
Our first product, Pairplay transforms your AirPods into a two player gaming platform, your house into a rich cinematic universe, and your iPhone/iPad into high tech gadgets like x-ray machines, lie detectors, fingerprint scanners, ghost detectors, and more!
This new form of immersive audio-first entertainment gets you OFF your devices and sharing magical IRL experiences with other people.
Our rich shared-world adventures immerse you in a cinematic fiction that comes alive in your own home.
The power of audio
We believe the intimacy of audio makes it the next great platform for gaming and entertainment.
Last year, smart personal audio devices outsold PlayStation consoles 100 to 1.
Oh, and Chloe loves it so so so much: “It’s like living in a book-dream!”
