We start with "Why?"
Every intelligent solution is derived from a good plan and every plan must stem from asking “why?”.

Beautiful, Smart, Consistent,
Non-template Web Design.
Non-template Web Design.
There is nothing more painful than hiring a web designer only to find out later that they have disappeared and left you in darkness, with no one else to help.
Almost immediately after we started our AR/VR development studio, our clients and prospective clients began asking us if we offered web design and management services. These are some of the painful phrases that landed on our desks:
“Our web designer disappeared and we don’t even have our web credentials or backup. What do we do?”
“We are so unhappy with the aesthetics of our website. They don't represent our brand well. We need help”
“We feel like we are getting charged an arm and a leg for nothing”
“I am always begging our web design company to get our updates done on time and it never happens”
At Augmented Island Studios we:
Can't stand for poor service.
Can't stand for bad design.
Can't stand for lack of respect.
This is why we started:

About
Today’s digital landscape is more crowded than ever, it's easy to get lost in the shuffle.
With over 60 years of combined real time development experience, we serve a multitude of clients in a myriad of industries. We specialize in AR, VR and traditional video to help tell your story in groundbreaking ways. From ROI producing applications and curious + fun AR/VR development, to complex 3D simulations, as well as with heartfelt storytelling through video, we are able to set you apart from your competition.
Description of our film services
We are storytellers who respect the value of traditional video for distilling complex concepts and sharing sincere stories. We have partnered with EMMY™-winning, California-based filmmaker Cyrus Sutton to share your visions through rich and potent content.
Why we’re different
Our videos push the limits of storytelling through our core values led formula. By leading with the values intrinsic to our clients we build storytelling and aesthetic palettes which distill a deeper messaging into engaging and fun videos.
Cyrus Sutton Biography
Cyrus Sutton’s mission is to break down the barriers between ourselves and the world around us. In the sixteen years he’s been making films professionally he has leveraged the power of visual storytelling to bring his viewers inside seemingly disparate worlds and ideologies.
At 19 he was a writer for an EMMY™-winning TV show and at twenty-three years old he was the writer and cinematographer of an EMMY™ production focusing on indigenous wisdom in the face of the catastrophic 2005 tsunami which ravaged Southeast Asia. Sutton gleans inspiration and literacy from his fifteen year career as a professional surfer and adventurer. Today he divides his time between rural Washington where he has a four acre homestead and Los Angeles, California.

Terry Crews & Ken Harvey
Sharing a quote from our client Terry Crews: "20 years ago, 1995 to be exact, Ken Harvey and I were teammates on the NFL’s Washington Redskins. Ken came to me with a brilliant idea of a book he wrote for his two very young sons, Anthony and Marcus. The book was to be a first time reader, and feature the boys in an imaginative game of hide and seek."

J.Lo and Bad Bunny Video
G2 Productions
When G2 Productions reached out to us to create their first AR experience, they wanted an augmented reality easter egg that would take everyone by surprise at the end of each of the music videos they produced. The first music video we had to work with was Jennifer Lopez’s and Bad Bunny’s collaboration, “Te Gusté”.
We decided to elaborate a beautiful and shiny disco ball which has the ability to spin as the user swipes it with their finger. When the disco ball reaches a certain speed, it explodes, and confetti as well as G2’s logo and ours come out in real time 3D. To enjoy, watch “Te Gusté” and then at the end of the video, wait for the disco ball marker to come out. Pause the video and then launch the G2 Productions app. Point your device to the market and spin the disco ball!!

Augmented Wine Cover
Wine Enthusiast
Wine Enthusiast Magazine asked us to build their first-ever Augmented Reality magazine cover. The task was to create an application that would launch a digital experience when the magazine cover was detected. In collaboration with the magazine and award-winning digital artist Pete Bollinger, we elected to choose a sci-fi interface that brought Peter’s video to life by creating a 3D version of it that is displayed in different layers as if they were coming right out of the magazine. The experience ends with a very futuristic hologram of the actual cover. Check out the full Wine Enthusiast article here

Sangiovese AR
Carhartt
We partnered with the legendary Carhartt family and their beautiful winery, Carhartt Vineyard, to bring to life the first ever augmented reality wine application in Santa Barbara county. More specifically, in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley. An idea surged within our company to change the wine tasting room experience and offer an innovative and informative application which could be enjoyed inside but also, outside the wine tasting room. A floating bottle of Sangiovese more than meets the eye.

Monarch AR
Monarch Reign Swimwear
Celebrity fashion designer Ashley Busch, wife of famed NASCAR champion Kurt Busch, chose us to launch the first AR project for her new brand, Monarch Reign (www.monarchreign.com). The luxurious swim and accessories brand needed us to bring her logo to life in a beautiful and entertaining way. The color rich butterfly interaction, mixed with the subtle softness of their flight deliver a brand message like no other; one of thoughtful design and love for clean and interesting aesthetics.

Face Filters + Lenses

There are an innumerable amount of ways to take advantage of these new branded assets and the possibilities are only expanding as time passes. Below are a few examples of face filters/lenses we have created for some of our clients.

The Journey AR Murals
The Short North Arts District
The Short North Arts District in Columbus, Ohio hired us to augment what was to become the largest augmented reality mural in the world; three walls with a total of 11,000 ft2. Beautifully painted by artists Eric Skotnes and Ryan Safarti, “The Journey” has been one of our most memorable projects yet. Working with such talented muralists and with such a massive surface was thrilling! If you feel like trying The Journey's augmented reality on your computer screen, please download the app here for iOS and here for Android. Then launch and point your camera at the photos below to launch the experience (note: different computer screens and lighting can affect the performance of the augmented reality).

Surf Prescriptions Web AR
Surf Prescriptions
Surf Prescriptions by Jeff ‘Doc’ Lausch, is a global surfboard design and shaping company based in Huntington Beach, California. Doc has been on the forefront of mixing art design and technology in surfboard construction for decades. Reinventing daily is Surf Prescriptions' mantra and it's the reason Doc continues to stay at the forefront of surfboard building. When he came to us for a web and tech transformation, we knew exactly what had to be done. No other surfboard company in the world had offered WebAR yet and he wanted to fulfill more orders while still doing so in a customized way. Studying Doc’s brand identity and understanding his business goals helped us work together so that we could innovate on this new layer of his business - custom surfboards online + AR. At the end of this project Doc had a new and redesigned website and every single one of his surfboards is now available to see in WebAR (no app downloads needed).
