From mind-bending virtual worlds to AI-driven spatial computing, four incredible startups, Geopogo, Mused, Zeality, and N.Link, lit up the stage with live demos and bold visions for the future of VR, AR, and XR. These founders are reshaping how we live, see, and interact with the world around us—proving that the line between human and machine is getting blurrier… and more exciting. Sparknify embarked on a journey with the attendees where their technology meets imagination, and explore the boundless possibilities of AI in VR, AR, and XR.
Geopogo Cities is a cutting-edge, real-time 3D geospatial visualization tool powered by Unreal Engine. Designed for architects, urban planners, and commercial developers, it allows users to explore, analyze, and render projects within rich urban and environmental contexts. Geopogo Cities transforms 3D geospatial city data into actionable visualizations, enabling users to produce high-quality renderings and live presentations with the help of AI-driven features. Compatible with leading 3D modeling software—such as Rhino, Revit, SketchUp, Archicad, 3ds Max, Cinema4D, Navisworks, and more—Geopogo Cities integrates seamlessly into your workflow.
Michael Hoppe, Creative Director of Geopogo, who envisions a future where AR and AI transform architecture and urban planning. He sees AR as a standard tool for visualizing cityscapes and engaging the public, while AI brings advanced analysis and automation to the design process. Together, these technologies can democratize design, inviting community input and making planning more inclusive, transparent, and collaborative.
Zeality creates immersive media solutions for the sports, media, and entertainment industries using VR, 360° video, AR, and AI. Their platform enhances fan engagement through interactive content, mobile SDKs, and gamified features like Re/Lives™ and Hunts & Gems. They’ve worked with top teams like the 49ers and Giants to deliver next-gen fan experiences.
Dipak Patel, CEO & Co-Founder of Zeality: Zeality stands at the forefront of immersive media, delivering VR/360°, AR, and cognitive computing technologies that revolutionize fan engagement in the Media, Entertainment, and Sports industries. Dipak will explore how AI amplifies immersive media experiences, fostering deeper connections between brands and audiences.
Created solution for 3d captures and digital twins to be used for simulations and education. Built pipeline for processing 3d data create nerfs and 3d gaussian splatting out of 3d captures--and create photorealistic environments used in games and other rendering engines.
Luke Hollis, Founder of Mused where he created solution for 3d captures and digital twins to be used for simulations and education. Luke built pipeline for processing 3d data create nerfs and 3d gaussian splatting out of 3d captures--and create photorealistic environments used in games and other rendering engines.
NLink.ai is building the future of spatial computing by combining AI and AR to manage, display, and interact with digital assets in the real world. Their platform powers live, location-based AR experiences and enables users to deploy and trace digital content—perfect for creators, collectors, and immersive campaigns.
Bohan Sun, Founder of NLink.ai is pioneering the integration of AI with spatial computing, focusing on real-time data transmission and multi-user collaboration across platforms. Bohan will demonstrate their latest innovations, illustrating the seamless interaction between users and digital assets powered by AI.
At Sparknify, we’re not just hosting the conversation—we’re building the ecosystem. Whether you’re a founder looking to form your startup, shape your go-to-market strategy, or scale your big idea, we’re here to help you spark the next wave of innovation.
