Ado Ato Pictures is at the forefront of innovative and experimental content creation, and our research and development arm is continuously dedicated to pushing boundaries and exploring the full potential of AR technology. We are proud to have established an ongoing partnership with Black Public Media (BPM), MIT Open Documentary Lab (ODL), and MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology (MIT CAST) through the MIT & Black Public Media Visiting Artist Program.

‍

The mission of this joint program is to support and develop the emerging-tech storytelling skills of a maker who is underrepresented within creative technology industries and bring Visiting Artists into community with like-minded storytellers.

In line with our focus on innovative storytelling and our commitment to pushing the limits of AR, we have also teamed up with Niantic, the visionary company behind the sensational Pokémon Go, in an exciting research and development initiative. We have been selected by Niantic to work together, leveraging their newly published cross-platform development kit "Lightship ARDK". Our shared goal is to explore the frontiers of augmented reality gaming in pursuit of creating captivating multiplayer AR experiences that push the boundaries of what's possible.
