Immersive pop-ups and brand activations

Pop-ups people
step into and share.

AR mirrors, AI photo booths, Snap and TikTok lenses, WebAR and smart glasses demos for brand pop-ups, experiential stores and event booths. We start with what people should feel when they walk in, then pick the technology that gets them there.

✓ Draw people in with AR and AI mirrors, photo booths and projection
✓ Make them share with a Snap or TikTok lens built for the space
✓ Reach people who are not there with WebAR from a QR code
✓ Show what is next with smart glasses demos on Snap Spectacles

Pick by goal

Four jobs immersive
tech does in a pop-up.

Start with the goal. The technology follows.

01.
Draw people in

An AR mirror, AI mirror or AI photo booth that transforms the visitor, or projection that turns a wall into the brand world. People stop because they see someone else trying it.

02.
Make them share

A Snap or TikTok lens designed around the space, so every visit becomes a post. The visitor films it because it looks good on them, and the share does the marketing.

03.
Reach people who are not there

WebAR that opens from a QR code or a link: on the window, the bag, the poster, or a post. No app. The pop-up keeps working after it closes and far beyond the street it stands on.

WebAR QR code No app
04.
Show what is next

A smart glasses demo on Snap Spectacles, or a VR or mixed reality moment, that gives visitors their first try of something new. The kind of moment people talk about after they leave.

The difference

What makes a pop-up
worth the queue.

A pop-up has a few seconds to win someone walking past. The ones that work have one clear moment: something to try, something to see yourself in, something worth filming. We design that moment first, then build the space and the technology around it, so the visit turns into a story people tell and share.
✓ One clear moment a passer-by understands in three seconds
✓ Built for the queue: fast turns and something to watch while waiting
✓ Every visit leaves something to share or keep
✓ Tested in venue-like conditions before opening day
✓ We travel to the venue, worldwide
From the case studies
Luna's Lost Spell, a Halloween WebAR trail at Chester Zoo with AR mini games at each station
Luna's Lost Spell. A WebAR trail across a real venue, six stations, one reward.
Chester Zoo × Augit · WebAR · Halloween event

Luna's Lost
Spell.

A Halloween event trail across Chester Zoo. Families followed a physical map to six stations, scanned with their phones, played an AR mini game at each stop, and collected letters that spelled a magic word to claim a reward. No app: it ran in the browser.

The same thinking powers a pop-up: a physical space, a reason to move through it, and a moment at every stop. Most of our other live builds were delivered for agency partners under NDA. Details on request.

Common questions

What people ask us
about pop-ups.

An immersive pop-up is a temporary brand space where technology turns a visit into an experience people step into: an AR or AI mirror that transforms the visitor, a Snap or TikTok lens built around the space, WebAR that starts from a QR code, or a smart glasses demo. The goal is one clear moment that people understand in seconds, want to try, and want to share. RBKAVIN. Immersive Studio designs that moment first, then picks the technology that delivers it.
Choose by goal, not by technology. To draw foot traffic, an AR or AI mirror or projection mapping works because people see others using it. To get visitors sharing, a Snap or TikTok lens built for the space turns every visit into content. To reach people who are not there, WebAR opens from a QR code or link with no app. To show something new, a smart glasses demo on Snap Spectacles gives visitors a first try of the next platform. Most strong pop-ups combine one in-person moment with one layer that travels online.
A single moment, such as one AR or AI mirror or AI photo booth, starts from $5,000. A Snap or TikTok lens or a WebAR experience on its own starts from $3,000. A full pop-up experience with an in-person moment, a companion lens or WebAR layer, and environment direction starts from $12,000. These cover the technology and creative layer, not venue rent, staffing, or fit-out. Share the brief and the dates and we reply within 48 hours with a scope and estimate.
A focused lens or WebAR experience takes 2 to 5 weeks from confirmed brief. A standalone AR or AI mirror takes 3 to 5 weeks to event-ready hardware. A full pop-up experience with several elements takes 5 to 8 weeks. If the opening date is fixed, tell us when you send the brief and we will say straight away what fits the window.
Every build is designed and tested so it runs without a technician next to it, with handover documentation for the venue team. For larger or high-stakes pop-ups, on-site support is available, and we travel to the venue, worldwide. We can also work white-label inside an agency's production team, and the client stays theirs.
