Software development at Aether Immersive

Software Consulting & Development

FULL-STACK ENGINEERING & ARCHITECTURE

We build custom software for immersive installations and digital experiences - web applications, real-time graphics engines, interactive kiosks, sensor-driven experiences, and the show-control tools that run live events.

THE SERVICE

Engineering that powers immersive experiences - and everything around them.

Our software team builds the platforms, tools, and integrations that bring creative visions to life. Whether it's a real-time GPU shader pipeline for generative visuals, a full-stack web application for a client's business, or the control systems behind a multi-projector installation - we architect solutions that are robust, scalable, and tailored to the project.

We've built everything from e-commerce platforms and interactive museum kiosks to real-time dome simulation tools and data-driven visualizations for NASA. Our approach is hands-on and collaborative - we work directly with stakeholders to understand the problem, design the architecture, and ship production-ready code.

WHAT WE OFFER

Web Applications

Full-stack web apps, platforms, and dashboards - from concept to deployment. React, Node, Astro, and beyond.

Real-Time Graphics

GPU shader pipelines, generative visual engines, and real-time rendering for installations and live performance.

Systems Architecture

Infrastructure design, API development, database architecture, and DevOps for projects of any scale.

Interactive Installations

Software for sensor-driven experiences, touch interfaces, projection control systems, and museum interactives.

RELATED SERVICES

How this connects

Software is the backbone of nearly every project we deliver. Our development work often integrates directly with our Interactives & Kiosks builds - powering the touchscreen applications, sensor logic, and real-time graphics behind interactive installations. For Projection Mapping projects, we build the content pipelines and show control systems. And our Digital Content Creation team relies on custom tools we've built in-house for rendering, asset management, and generative art.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of software do you build?
Full-stack web applications, real-time GPU pipelines and generative engines, interactive museum kiosks, sensor-driven experiences, e-commerce platforms, data-visualization tools, and the custom show-control software we use to run our own dome and mapping installations.
What tech stack do you work with?
Web: React, Node, Astro, TypeScript. Real-time graphics: Three.js, WebGL, Unity, custom GPU shaders. Interactive: TouchDesigner, Notch, computer-vision and sensor integration. We pick the right stack per project rather than forcing everything through one framework.
Do you build for both web and installation hardware?
Yes. A single project often spans both - for example, our NASA ICESat-2 kiosk runs a Three.js 3D ice-sheet visualization on a public touchscreen, and our VR Dome Parties pair installation hardware with a browser-based VR gallery at play.aetherimmersive.com.
Can you integrate sensors, LiDAR, or computer vision?
Yes. We have built installations driven by LiDAR, camera-based body tracking, gesture recognition, face tracking, and object recognition. Hardware is selected per use case and integrated end-to-end with the visual software.
Have you built anything for public institutions?
Yes. Notable public-institution work includes the NASA Goddard ICESat-2 educational kiosk and interactive exhibits at the American Visionary Art Museum (AVAM) and Jewish Museum of Maryland (JMM). We understand the durability and accessibility expectations that come with that environment.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance?
Yes. For installed kiosks, touring domes, and long-running installations, we offer ongoing maintenance, content updates, and remote monitoring so the experience stays live and healthy over time.
