Let's talk!A service by Opal Interactive
Prove the idea works before you bet real budget on it.
We build proofs of concept and MVPs that real users can click, try and react to. The hard parts, AI, real time and mixed reality, get settled in weeks, so the decision to invest is made on evidence instead of slides.
Why a proof of concept
Evidence over slides
A working prototype answers questions a deck cannot: does it feel right, does it hold up, do people come back to it. That is what you take to your board, your investors or your users.
The hard parts first
AI, real-time 3D and mixed reality are settled at the start, where they are cheap to change, not discovered at the end, where they are expensive.
Weeks, not quarters
A short, honest scope: enough build to learn what you need to learn, and nothing gold-plated before the idea has earned it.
Use cases
Validating a product idea
A clickable, testable version of the product for user tests, pilots and early customers.
Fundraising and buy-in
Something people can try, not just watch: for investors, boards and internal sponsors.
De-risking new technology
Testing whether AI, XR or real-time tech actually fits your use case before a full build.
Innovation initiatives
Corporate innovation teams that need something real to put in front of stakeholders and users.
How it works
Brief
A short call to define the question the prototype must answer and what evidence would convince you.
Build
We build the smallest version that answers it, with the hard technology in place, not faked.
Real reactions
You put it in front of users, stakeholders or investors and watch what they do with it.
Decide with evidence
Kill it cheaply, iterate, or grow it into the production build, on facts instead of faith.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a proof of concept take?
Weeks, not months: we scope the smallest build that answers your question, and the hard parts (AI, real time, mixed reality) are settled early. The exact timeline comes out of the brief we define together.
What do we get at the end?
A working prototype real users can try, the code behind it, and an honest read on what the evidence says: grow it, change it, or stop. A validated prototype becomes the foundation of the next stage instead of being thrown away.
What kinds of ideas fit this?
Ideas where the risk is in the experience or the technology: an AI product that has to feel trustworthy, a mixed reality experience that has to feel natural, a product people have to understand in seconds. If a slide could answer the question, you do not need us.
Have an idea to prove?
Tell us the idea and the question it has to answer. We will propose the smallest build that gets you a real answer.
