Introducing Motive.io
Motive.io is a professional platform that allows you to integrate cutting-edge AR technology into compelling mobile-AR games and experiences. Start with our Unity templates or our Explore AR app and you’ll have a prototype in your hand within a week. Customize our templates in Unity to create unique apps with your own visual design, branding, and gameplay. All location services, map integration, AR tools and a host of ready-to-go game mechanics are included so you can see your game or experience in action sooner.

Take Creative Control.
Motive provides unparalleled creative control for both creative professionals and game developers. Our drag and drop web editor and extensible Unity SDK allow teams to work in tandem, creating a more efficient workflow. Using Motive to create your app makes rapid prototyping easy. Content can be tested and revised multiple times for maximum precision and seamless user experiences. Keep your users engaged by updating content regularly without having to push a new version of your app through the app store.
The Motive Platform
Location-Based Augmented Reality
Engage your users with outdoor real-world games and experiences
With Motive’s location-based augmented reality features, developers can easily create mobile games and apps that combine location services, GPS, and a variety of media types. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination:
- Unlock virtual items based on your GPS position and capture them using an AR camera minigame.
- Use locative sound to create a virtual easter-egg hunt where you follow a sound and an egg pops onto your AR screen when you get close enough.
- Interact with virtual characters who inhabit the real world.
- Overlay historical or other context-aware information on a live camera feed for historical or educational tours.
Marker-Based Augmented Reality
Engage your users indoors with visual markers
Motive.io’s marker-based AR support makes it easy to create engaging, immersive experiences using image tracking technologies like Vuforia, Wikitude, and ARKit. With Motive’s rich gameplay and branching narrative features, you can unleash the potential for vision AR to engage people in ways that were never before possible. Augment your world with interactive video, audio, images, and 3D objects for room escapes, adventure games, scavenger hunts, conference apps, or whatever else you can imagine. Check out our Escape to Mars demo app for a great example of vision AR powering a room escape-style game.
