RED6 – ‘Augmented Reality’

RED6 – ‘Augmented Reality’

Story Machine crafted a hero launch campaign, built a custom website and content pool for augmented reality startup RED6AR to drive their Series A round and beyond. The challenge was to create a vision for their technology, which at the time, didn’t exist. We utilised 3D simulations combined with real-world aerobatic footage to create a sequence of different use cases for their technology.
