At SXSW Sydney, vaic.at had the incredible opportunity to showcase EUorigin, our spatial and immersive Vision Pro app that’s reimagining how people discover and learn from European business success stories.
The Demo Experience
Nothing quite compares to watching someone experience EUorigin for the first time. The reactions at SXSW were unforgettable from initially setting up the platform to genuine excitement as users found themselves floating above a massive, interactive map of Europe. Each demo became a collaborative journey as we explored the app together, unpacking insights and discussing the unique stories that resonated with each visitor.
What made these demos special was the anticipation that built as users put on the Vision Pro. That moment when the 100-inch map materialized before them, populated with hundreds of company stories, was magical every time.
Learning from the Best
We were honored to demo alongside VR experts like Jad from BadVR. The cross-pollination of ideas and approaches at SXSW enriched our understanding of immersive experiences and validated our unique approach to business storytelling.
What Makes EUorigin Unique
EUorigin is the first immersive spatial business researcher of its kind. Users float above Europe, exploring company stories that are fully narrated and subtitled for accessibility. But we’ve gone beyond simple storytelling each narrative features custom-designed widgets that transform complex data, financial flows, and business metrics into glanceable, intuitive visualizations.
This isn’t just an app; it’s an experiential goldmine of European visionaries and their journeys.
Why EUorigin Matters to Us
When we founded vaic.at in 2015, EUorigin was the tool we wished existed. European innovators face unique challenges: navigating cultural differences, overcoming language barriers, and interpreting varying legislation across member states. Expanding from one EU country to another isn’t just about geography it’s about understanding deeply local contexts while leveraging continental opportunities.
Having an immersive library of success stories, complete with practical tips and hard-won lessons, would have accelerated our own journey. Now, we’re making that resource available to the next generation of European innovators.
Behind the Scenes: How We Built It
EUorigin is native to Vision Pro, drawing from a rich tapestry of sources: founder interviews, public information, company blogs, social platforms, and market data. Our unique position at vaic.at, with decade-long client relationships and deep knowledge of European business ecosystems, enables us to craft authentic, insightful narratives.
We maintain strict ethical boundaries: confidential client data never enters our storylines, and all stories involving our clients or partners are reviewed before publication to ensure accuracy without compromising trust.
Why Vision Pro?
Vision Pro isn’t just our platform it’s our canvas. The agility of visionOS and Apple’s developer tools enable us to create experiences that wouldn’t be possible elsewhere. As the European Vision Pro user base grows, we believe more innovators will experience that “aha” moment we witnessed in Sydney.
Imagine accessing a vast, immersive map filled with lessons on development, production, investment, capital raising, collaboration, and problem-solving all while maintaining the privacy and security that Apple’s ecosystem provides.
Privacy by Design
We don’t compromise on privacy or security. Building on our experience with Salary Insights and mEUvy app, EUorigin implements our most advanced safeguards:
- Complete on-device processing: The app runs entirely locally, only connecting to download story updates
- Zero tracking: We can’t see what you research, annotate, or focus on
- Your insights stay yours: All gathered information remains strictly confidential
- Optional contributions: You control if and when to share insights, with full retraction rights anytime
Free, Not Freemium
Yes, EUorigin is completely free, and no, you’re not the product. Our recruitment services subsidize our app development, allowing us to offer these tools without compromising user privacy.
We do include optional, relevant services job opportunities for those considering relocation, innovation events, and professional webinars from our partners. These aren’t based on your data (which we don’t have) but on contextual relevance to the European innovation ecosystem.
Want proof? Enable flight mode and use EUorigin, everything works perfectly offline because your data never leaves your device.
Looking Forward
Our SXSW Sydney experience reinforced our belief that immersive, spatial computing can transform how we share and learn from business stories. Every demo, every piece of feedback, and every moment of surprise when users discovered a story relevant to their own journey validated our vision.
EUorigin isn’t just about looking at data differently it’s about experiencing the European innovation landscape in a way that inspires action.
