The metaverse development company that hands you the platform
For teams that need an immersive experience shipped — not another vendor dependency. We design and build it, then hand over the platform your team runs it on.
What we build
Brief our team, get a finished experience. Strategy, 3D design, build, launch, and the analytics to prove it worked.
Custom XR environments
Branded 3D spaces built to spec — venues, showrooms, training facilities, campuses. Built from your assets or from scratch.
Immersive events and activations
Virtual, in-person, or hybrid. Physical venues get RSVP with digital ticketing; remote guests join the same event from a link. Recurring formats are set up once and reused.
3D asset production
Models and environments created from scratch, converted from your CAD and design exports, or generated through our AI-assisted pipeline. GLB, GLTF, and OBJ import directly.
In-world AI agents
Conversational characters powered by OpenAI or Azure — with memory that persists across sessions, voice synthesis, and proximity awareness. They guide, host, or role-play with your users.
Live translation and transcription
Dedicated AI agents translate chat in real time, transcribe sessions, and summarize them afterward. One event, one venue, multiple languages spoken at once.
Custom interactivity
When your experience needs logic beyond the editor, our developers write it — scripted behaviors with a full API surface, built into the same environment.
Start with one experience. Or run the whole platform.
Tell us which rung you're on, and we'll scope from there. Most clients start at the first and climb.
A single environment with one job — a launch, an activation, a training module, a conference. Scoped, built, live in weeks, and yours to reuse.
A series or a library: recurring events, a training curriculum, a venue you reopen each quarter. Built once as a template, reused across every activation, with capacity that scales for launch days.
Your branding, your users, your roles, your pricing. We build the environments and stand up the platform underneath — then your team operates it, including selling access to your own audience.
Why we ship in weeks, not quarters
Tell us which rung you're on and we'll scope from there. Most clients start at the first and climb.
Most agencies leave you with a file. We leave you with a platform.
Standard XR projects create dependency: every content update requires agency hours and maintenance fees. We do the opposite. Your experience runs on our platform, and at handover, you receive the full infrastructure—not just the build.
What that means in practice:
Metaverse as a Service isn't a maintenance contract—it is the operational foundation to run your XR experience as your own product.
How We Work
From brief to live
Scope
A working session, not a discovery phase. We map the use case, the audience, the success metric, and the date — and tell you if XR is the wrong tool for it. We say that more often than you'd expect.
Design
Environment design, brand integration, interaction planning. You review a walkable draft in your browser, not a slide deck of concepts.
Build
Our team produces the assets, builds the environment, and wires in the integrations. You watch it come together in a private staging environment.
Launch
We publish, support the live day, and stay through it — with full analytics and a session summary when it's over.
Handover
We transfer the platform, train the team that runs it next, and step back. Your next activation doesn't need a new statement of work.
Tell us what you want to build
Twenty minutes, your use case, and a straight answer on scope, timeline, and cost.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions
What is a metaverse development company?
A metaverse development company designs and builds immersive 3D environments — virtual venues, training simulations, branded worlds — for organizations without in-house XR teams. Next Reality Digital builds on its own platform, so clients receive the finished experience and the platform to operate it, rather than a file they can't maintain.
What is Metaverse as a Service (MaaS)?
Metaverse as a Service is a model where the platform behind an immersive experience — hosting, editor, user management, analytics, and billing — is provided as an ongoing service rather than a one-time build. With NRD, that means your own branded platform: your users, your access roles, your priced products, and your payment processor.
What devices do your experiences run on?
All of them, through the browser. Experiences run on desktop, laptop, mobile, and tablet, with VR headset support built in and gamepad, touch, keyboard, and mouse controls handled natively. Nothing to download, nothing to install.
How long does a custom XR project take?
Most builds go from brief to live in weeks rather than months, because we build on an existing platform instead of engineering one per project. Branded activations and event environments move fastest; large custom asset libraries and deep integrations extend the timeline.
Who owns what you build?
You own your content, your 3D assets, and your brand materials. NRD provides the platform they run on, licensed to you — so your team edits and extends the work without coming back to us for every change.
Can you use our existing 3D models?
Yes. GLB, GLTF, and OBJ files import directly — the standard export path from CAD, architectural, and 3D design tools, and the native output of AI 3D generation tools. Images, video, audio, and PDFs work as in-world media.
Can you run events in more than one language?
Yes. Environments are delivered in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and dedicated AI agents translate chat in real time during a live session, transcribe it, and summarize it afterward. Attendees speaking different languages share the same room.
What's the difference between XR Agency and the XR Platform?
XR Platform is self-serve: your team builds in the editor on a subscription. XR Agency is done-for-you: our team designs and builds the experience, then hands over the same platform so you can run it. Most agency clients continue on the platform afterward.
How much does custom XR development cost?
Cost depends on environment complexity, custom 3D asset volume, integrations, and the audience capacity you need. Engagements are structured as a fixed project fee plus an ongoing platform subscription, or as a monthly retainer for continuous programs. A scoping call produces a firm number.
