What Wideverse does

Wideverse Srl is an Italian B2B software firm founded in 2016 as a spin-off of Politecnico di Bari's SisInfLab research laboratory, headquartered in Bari and registered as a PMI innovativa. The company develops enterprise solutions combining artificial intelligence with extended reality technologies (VR, AR, Mixed Reality, Spatial Computing, and Digital Twin) for clients across six vertical sectors: Fashion & Retail, Manufacturing, Marketing, Education & Training, Tourism & Cultural Heritage, and Construction & Real Estate. Its commercial portfolio centers on four proprietary "Plug & Play" platforms — Tourverse (VR tours), Esoverse (AR content), Didaverse (immersive learning), and Miraverse (mixed-reality remote support) — supplemented by a Labs division of AI tools covering generative copy and SEO, sketch-to-3D conversion, virtual try-on, recommendation systems, RAG, AI search, and AI-driven software testing, plus a Miraverse spin-off product called Uhura for virtual service desks in municipal and banking settings.

The business operates a hybrid commercial model combining customized enterprise solutions (professional services) with subscription-style recurring Plug & Play products, sold via direct enterprise field sales supported by demo and information request forms on its website. Pricing is quote-based and contracts are typically multi-year. Named reference customers include OVS, Promomedia, Lutech, Aeronautica Militare, and Casa delle tecnologie emergenti Matera, spanning enterprise and government. Wideverse employs 18 engineers plus one research laboratory with 10+ years of combined experience, led by co-founders Antonio Stella (CEO), Mike Trizio (CTO), and Tommaso Di Noia (CRO). The company has historically been funded through EU regional development grants (P.O. Puglia FESR FSE 2014–2020) rather than institutional venture capital, and currently operates within the Apulia region of Italy.
