What Realsim does

Realsim (legal entity: Thomas Peterseil, Fa Realsim) is an Austrian sole proprietorship founded in 2011 and headquartered in Linz, Austria, that operates as a creative studio specializing in immersive technologies. The company develops Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) solutions, with its flagship product Holopackage — a holographic MR software that projects digital content into physical environments via data glasses, smartphones, or tablets and supports remote control of devices. Supporting capabilities include a 3D Creative Studio producing bespoke models for games, apps, and film productions, plus a sub-brand called AETHERION targeting military and police applications.

The business operates on three revenue streams: one-time Holopackage software licensing (€3,800 with hardware / €500 software-only, exclusive to EEA) combined with recurring annual maintenance fees (€358–€650 per data glass); professional services including 3D modeling and custom solution development; and training/workshop programs priced at €180–€350 per person, with custom enterprise workshops on AI and digital transformation. Distribution is conducted primarily through direct enterprise field sales, supplemented by a WebStore, a Digital Exhibition Stand, and educational courses. Customers span government (fire services, military academy, Mars mission AMADEE 24), enterprise (ÖAMTC, Rosenbauer, TimeRide, driving schools), cultural institutions (Technisches Museum Wien, Jagdmuseum), and entertainment (escape rooms).

The company claims 82 completed projects, 6 finished software solutions, 12 awards (including TOP AR-Erlebnis des Jahres 2024 and OÖ Landespreis für Verkehrssicherheit 2021), and 7 patents. Critical technology infrastructure is delivered via third-party partners including Exit Games (multiplayer synchronization), Codeaware (user/license management), Microsoft Azure, Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, and OpenWeatherMap. The company received co-financing from the European Fund for Regional Development and the State of Upper Austria.
