AWE Technology Development Project – The Virtual History of Fort York

Divani’s AWE Augmented Reality product is expected to assist Fort York to create a more engaging experience for the attraction’s 100,000 annual visitors. By combining the historical value of Fort York with the immersive experience of AR, the organization will be able to increase revenue to assist with its financial goals. Divani Films is expected to benefit from a successful rollout by generating new revenue streams from the licensing of AWE technology and/or forming additional partnerships within the tourism industry as well as other industries (gaming, sports, etc.).
The intern will provide research services to assist Divani Films in the commercialization of results of current technology and products. With the Fort York project serving as proof of concept, the intern will assist Divani to develop a business and technology innovation strategy (focusing on use of current technology as a platform, identification of next steps in other AR application markets, assessment of investment needs to create a suite of products and services, and identification of business models to support commercialization), accompanied by an investment plan.
