Back again with the latest edition of getting to know Arilyn. This week we will be asking the same serious and other not so serious questions to get to know our Biz Dev Dir or Business Development Director, Katri Kantoniemi, better. 

Art is an essential medium to tell history and stories. However, no matter how interesting the narrative told, often times the story of the art itself stays hidden. Augmented reality makes it visible.

Arilyn helped to enhance two classic pieces of art, famous frescoes by Tove Jansson, by bringing fashion journalist Sami Sykkö and nature journalist Minna Pyykkö to explore the frescoes and ponder the feelings, moods and inspirations on show within them.

Another edition of faces of Arilyn back with the questions we are all dying to know the answers to. We will be blasting some serious and other not so serious questions to our own Topi Jalvas, better.

Alright, we are back again with the faces behind Arilyn, the cogs and wheels behind it all. This week we are once again asking some serious and other not so serious questions to get to know our own Mats Havia a bit better. 

A city is more than its buildings and parks. A city is its people and their history.

City Stories are true stories, told on location, enhanced by AR to give you all the nuances of the setting, both visual and auditive. A stroll around Helsinki has never been more immersive and exciting.

Time for another episode of getting to know the faces of Arilyn! This week we are throwing our random batch of questions at Johnny Varila, our Content Trainee. Johnny joined us from Metropolia where he studies digital graphic design. At Arilyn he mostly creates 2D assets but also works on some concept development and 3D! 

Can 13 images actually tell us more than millions of words?
