Project ESKY & ARIEL

Project Esky is BEER Labs’ home-brewed technology, enabling high fidelity Extended Reality (XR) experiences to be developed on any experimental hardware!

With it, we use Project North Star & Project Ariel open-sourced, PC teathered headsets to rapidly create content and showcase experiences on par with higher cost industry standard devices, such as the Microsoft HoloLens.
