3D, VR and AR for training, service and sales
Clients and partners
Skilled workers are scarce, the plant has to keep running
New people need to work safely sooner, training must not interrupt production, and products that need explaining need more than a data sheet. We turn your CAD and BIM data into applications for practising, inspecting and selling. On a tablet, in the browser or with a VR headset, whatever works in your operation.
Services
What we build for industry and production
Typical applications in this sector. Your project is not on the list? Talk to us anyway, we build beyond it too.
Training and instruction in VR
- Practise operation without stopping the plant
- Train dangerous situations safely
- Based on your CAD data
Maintenance and service with AR
- Step-by-step instructions at the machine
- On tablet or smartphone, no smart glasses needed
- Fewer repeat service visits
3D product configurator
- Configure variants in the browser
- For sales, website and trade fairs
- From existing 3D data
Digital twin
- Plant or line as an interactive 3D model
- Walk-throughs and planning before a refit
- Basis for training and sales
Example projects
What this looks like in practice


W&W Campus
Client voice
„Explaining pallet conveyor technology is hard. After a brainstorm with Nikola it became playfully easy: an application built on 360° video. It is very popular with our sales colleagues worldwide.“

Feasibility check with your CAD data
Together we check what can be done with your existing CAD or BIM data. Then you receive a quote for a pilot with key figures agreed in advance.
Why Studio Merkas
What you get with us
- One studio
Everything from one source
Concept, design, 3D, development and hosting sit in the same studio. No chain of agency and subcontractors.
One counterpart from the first conversation to operation
- Real-time 3D
From game development
We come from game development and turn your CAD data into real-time 3D that runs smoothly and is easy to use.
For example the W&W Campus from BIM data
- Technology
Technology as needed
Tablet, browser, VR or AR headset, Unity or Unreal. We use what works in your operation. Often a tablet is enough, no smart glasses needed.
IT, data protection and works council involved early
- Stuttgart
In person, on site
A studio in Stuttgart that you can visit, and a fixed contact person from the start.
First conversation also online
Process
Four steps to your application
No risk for you: the first conversation is free, and you only decide once you have seen our quote. After that, you can see what we are working on in every phase.
You tell us about your machine or plant and who will work with it. We ask the right questions and tell you openly what is feasible.
- Afterwards you have
- A quote with cost framework and statement of work, on request with a proposal for a pilot
Together we define what the application needs to do and involve IT, data protection and the works council early. Where it makes sense, development starts in parallel.
- Afterwards you have
- An agreed list of what the application does, so it is clear what you get before work really starts
You see the current state regularly and tell us what to adjust. That way there are no surprises at the end.
- Afterwards you have
- A test version that you and your people can try out directly
You receive the finished application. Or we take over hosting, maintenance and updates so it stays in line with the plant.
- Afterwards you have
- A running application and a fixed contact person going forward
Frequently asked questions
Contact
Tell us about your plant
Which machine or plant is it about, and do you have CAD or BIM data? A few sentences are enough. Niko will get back to you and arrange a free first conversation.
