Understand
We analyze your challenge, work processes and data sources. Together we select a use case where a new solution can create clear value.
AI for the Real World.
For everyone who doesn't only work at a desk.
So AI reaches where work happens — helping people understand, decide and act faster.

Areas of expertise
AI can do more than text.
Many tasks don't happen at a screen: people assemble, move goods, train for critical situations, communicate complex topics.
That's exactly where we apply AI — pragmatically, user-centred, tailored to your task.
01Orientation & Strategy
Orientation & Strategy
We start with your concrete challenge. Together we identify work situations where new technologies can make a real difference — and define a clear, realistic entry point.
02Digital Assistance
Digital Assistance
We develop assistants for real work situations: from work instructions and knowledge access to documentation and visual orientation. Deployed on Smart Glasses, mobile devices or other suitable interfaces.
03Training & Simulation
Training & Simulation
We make complex situations tangible and trainable. AI-powered simulations respond dynamically to speech, decisions and behaviour — from medical training to demanding conversation scenarios.
04Spatial Applications
Spatial Applications
We make connections spatially understandable: for construction, planning, education and the public sphere. Information becomes not just visible, but tangible and easier to grasp.
05Data & AI Integration
Data & AI Integration
We connect AI models with your data sources, systems and protected storage. Transparent data flows, thoughtful handling of sensitive content — and an architecture already designed for the next model.
06Devices & Platforms
Devices & Platforms
The task determines the interface — not the other way around. We develop for Smart Glasses, headsets, mobile devices, web and desktop, choosing the right platform for each use case.
Applications & Products
This is how we deploy AI in space.
Spatial Intelligence is not a vision of the future. We develop concrete solutions that make real situations more understandable, trainable and easier to handle.
XARA
AI-powered conversation training for realistic and dynamic learning situations — in virtual environments and on the web.

ARAISE
AR- and AI-powered simulation for medical training — Augmented Reality and AI make clinical training scenarios more realistic.
Discover ARAISEFrom real problem to lasting solution.
Iterative. Collaborative. Built for real use.
Pilot
We develop a focused pilot for a concrete situation. Not a show demo, but a usable solution that lets us test assumptions and learn together.
Scale
What proves itself, we develop further: as an integrated product module, a cross-platform application or a long-term managed solution.
afca. brings AI to where work happens.
Software, 3D, sensors and user-centred design from a single source. Applications that don't just impress, but hold up in everyday use.
We think collaboratively, test early and deploy technologies where they make a real difference.

Client testimonial
What can emerge from a concrete challenge.
"XARA was born from the desire to practice employee conversations: A ready-to-use product that realistically simulates interviews in virtual environments. The scenarios dynamically adapt to the course of the conversation."

Your challenge
Where could AI make a real difference for your team?
The best projects start with a situation that is today too complex, too error-prone or hard to communicate. Tell us about it — we'll show you where digital assistance, training or spatial applications can make a real difference.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Have more questions?
Feel free to contact us.
What is Spatial AI and how does it help my company?
Spatial AI combines artificial intelligence, 3D visualization and real-time data directly in the work context. The result: fewer errors, faster decisions, shorter onboarding and better quality on-site — on Smart Glasses, headsets or mobile devices.
What devices do your solutions run on?
We work device-agnostically: Android XR, visionOS, RealWear, Smart Glasses as well as smartphones and tablets. We continue to support existing HoloLens installations. The choice depends on your use case.
How does a typical project work?
In three steps: Discover (ROI case, data sources, device fit), Pilot (8–12 weeks, one use case, one team) and Scale (product module, integration, rollout). We always start with a workshop to define the optimal scope.
Can I spatially extend existing apps instead of starting from scratch?
Yes — our «Existing App Uplift» spatializes existing mobile or web workflows step by step. This way you leverage existing investments and iteratively extend to Smart Glasses or headsets without a complete rebuild.
How do you handle data and AI models?
We carefully evaluate which data sources, models and services are suitable for each application. We pay close attention to transparent data flows, responsible handling of sensitive information and architectures that remain as adaptable as possible.
Can existing applications be extended?
Yes. Existing web, mobile or desktop applications can be incrementally extended with AI features, spatial content or new interfaces. This allows existing investments to be leveraged while new possibilities are explored in a targeted way.
