Starmark selected ENGAGE XR as its metaverse development platform of choice for its exceptional flexibility and versatility. In the words of Starmark Chief Digital Officer, Brett Circe, “Where ENGAGE stands out from other metaverse platforms is how many tools and abilities it gives us to create different experiences for a range of clients that runs from Florida attractions to tech companies to colleges.

Long before the term ‘metaverse’ became an entry in most people’s tech lexicons, Starmark was pioneering the use of augmented and virtual reality to create experiences that couldn’t exist otherwise — transcending both time and space. This included an early foray into augmented reality for SeaWorld Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin in 2012 and our more recent partnership with Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures. For Boggy Creek, Starmark harnessed VR technology for B2B sales — transporting prospective travel planners and tourists directly into the heart of Florida’s natural beauty.

The immersive VR experience now provides the sales staff the unique capability to conduct real-time, interactive sales demos with travel planner partners anywhere in the world. Not only is it a more compelling firsthand look at what guests can expect, it’s also a more economical and scalable alternative to conventional familiarity trips, also known as fam trips.

Starmark is expanding deep into mixed reality development for a variety of clients in B2B, Education, Healthcare, and Travel & Tourism to explore augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI). These partnerships aim to harness XR technology to drive the bottom line for businesses both in revenue growth but also in reducing sales cycles and travel costs.

“Mixed reality will redefine virtual sales meetings, hands-on education, and even mental wellness,” said Brett Circe, Starmark’s Chief Digital Officer. “Users are active participants instead of passive viewers, like in a typical Zoom. Our ENGAGE XR certification is more than an accolade; it’s a commitment to being at the forefront of business in the future.”

As we venture further into the metaverse, Starmark is excited to continue shaping the future of digital interaction, armed with creativity, technology, and this additional ENGAGE XR certification.
