The Next Chapter
Past
During the past 3 years, thousands of AR and VR projects have been made using Minsar Studio on HoloLens 1 and 2, Magic Leap One, Oculus Quest 1 and 2, iOS and Android devices. And hundreds were created just in the past month with the beta version of Minsar Studio for Windows and macOS. Tens of thousands of experiences visualisations were powered by our native viewer and the WebXR/WebAR Viewer.
Present
We were the first, and are still to this day the only no-code platform that lets you prototype, design, and build AR/VR experiences with an immersive editor and no-code features; and then allows you to either view these experiences on the Web in just a few clicks, or add two lines of code to embed them in your iOS/Android app.
We've had the opportunity to learn so much with all of you. We've got to see how Minsar can help you tap into the power of 3D to create more and better XR experiences, whether you are a 3D/app/web/UX designer, a content creator in an agency or as freelancer, or a developer.
Now that we have the unique insight and perspective of what really works and what does not (with regards to AR/VR content creation and distribution), we believe we found a perfect match in our new mission; the magic formula.
We could ignore the positive signals and keep focusing on our original mission, but it feels like we would be wasting a tremendous opportunity. With our acquired precious knowledge and experience, we think we're up to this new challenge.
This is why we are making the painful but necessary decision to stop the development of Minsar Studio. The platform will stay up until November 1st, but we advise you to consider alternative platforms. We will write a short document to find out what are the best other candidates for AR/VR content creation platforms.
If you were planning to use Minsar Studio for an upcoming project and you aren't already in touch with us, please please contact us as soon as possible so we can help you find the relevant alternative platform. 🙏
Current paying customers will get a refund for their October subscription cycle and all subscriptions will automatically be cancelled on November 1st at the latest.
Future
🤫 We are now going back to stealth mode as we focus on building the absolute best experience around what was really popular in Minsar, in an entirely new app.
If you're curious to know what that would look like, or want to be amongst the first beta-testers, please join our Discord Server! We will begin onboarding our first users in the coming months.
In any case, you'll hear from us soon enough, probably in early 2022.
Stay safe, take care, keep dreaming of new realities.
