What Oblio does

Oblio is a privately held, Portland, Oregon-based digital studio founded in 2015 with a 1-10 person team that builds interactive digital experiences for the entertainment industry. The studio's core capabilities span AR and mixed-reality photo booths, social-platform AR filters, WebGL and 360°/VR experiences, interactive games (including Facebook Instant Games), and physical installations, supported by creative coding pipelines that combine HTML, WebGL, Unreal Engine, Blender, photogrammetry, and LIDAR scanning. Notable proprietary work includes the TENET audio-recognition site, the LEGO Batman Bat Climb Facebook Instant Game (~40 million plays), the SHAZAM! photo-booth campaign (13,000+ generated videos), and Insidious: Chapter 3 The Room Experience (2015 W3 Best in Show, CLIO KeyArt finalist, FWA SOTD/MOTD).

Oblio monetizes exclusively through bespoke, project-based professional services engagements rather than recurring software, licensing, or platform fees; pricing is not publicly disclosed and each engagement is scoped to the client. Its enterprise client base is concentrated in major film studios — Warner Bros., Lionsgate, Paramount, Sony Pictures, and Netflix — supplemented by sports and media networks (Fox Sports, BET) and, more recently, consumer and healthcare brands (Peloton, Augmedics) plus advocacy work (No Kids In Prison). The studio distributes its work through client-led campaigns, premiere events, and consumer social platforms (Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook Instant Games), and partners with experiential agency Team Epiphany and AI provider D-ID to extend its delivery capacity beyond its small in-house headcount.

Core offering

Oblio is a project-based digital studio that designs and builds custom interactive experiences for entertainment and brand clients, combining WebGL websites, AR filters and photo booth applications, social and Facebook Instant Games, VR/360-degree content, and physical installations. Each engagement is a bespoke creative-technology build delivered as a one-time campaign asset (typically tied to a film release, premiere, or brand activation) rather than a packaged, recurring product offering.

Product overview

Oblio is a digital studio specializing in technology as a design tool, combining HTML, WebGL, VR, video, and physical installations to create immersive digital experiences. The company offers five core service offerings: Websites (custom WebGL experiences with dynamic storytelling), Mixed Reality (AR filters for social platforms and photo booth applications with face tracking), Games (social platform games and mini-games with prototyping and graphics creation), Creative Technology (creative coding and AR project pipelines), and Installations (physical installations bridging digital and tangible spaces). Their portfolio includes AR Photo Booth Applications (Top Gun: Maverick, SHAZAM!), AR Filters (Sonic 2, Tom & Jerry), WebGL Experiences, 360° Video Experiences, and VR Experiences, primarily serving film studios and entertainment brands for promotional campaigns.
