What xoio does

xoio GmbH is a Berlin-based creative studio (founded 2006, ~10+ employees, headquartered in Kreuzberg) that produces high-end computer-generated imagery, 3D illustration, animation, virtual reality experiences, and interactive web-based visualization for architecture, real estate, product marketing, and corporate brand storytelling. Its core technical stack centers on CGI production workflows, 3D rendering, animation pipelines, and browser-native 3D/VR applications. Recent productized offerings include "xoio Interactor," a browser-based interactive sales navigator for real estate marketing, and Gaussian Splatting-based photorealistic virtual tours developed in partnership with GoSpl and CGVision. The studio also integrates AI-based image development and post-production into its workflow.

The business operates as a project-based professional services firm with custom, quote-based pricing and direct client engagement via consultations, plus channel partnerships with design, architecture, and real estate marketing agencies. Named customer segments include architecture firms and property developers (Studio Aisslinger, MVRDV, Ester Bruzkus Architekten, Axthelm Rolvien, Guerin Glass), DAX/Fortune 500 corporations (Mercedes-Benz Pioneering, Brenntag), real estate developers (Tishman Speyer), product manufacturers (Solarlux), and premium hospitality brands (Four Seasons Los Cabos, Hobo Oslo, 25hours Dubai). Repeat engagement patterns with Studio Aisslinger (multiple hospitality projects) and Solarlux (Cero IV followed by Cero III Frameless) suggest durable client relationships.

The company is privately held, founder-controlled, and bootstrapped with no external investors. It is led by Managing Directors Peter Stulz and Bettina Ludwig. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market combines a content-rich portfolio presence on Behance, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook with direct enterprise outreach, and the co-founded b3am community initiative functions as ecosystem and talent pipeline activity within the Berlin 3D/CGI creative scene.

It is adjacent to xoio's workflow — xoio produced the 'UnBox' CG short film for Chaos — and represents both a tooling partner and a broader incumbent in the CGI ecosystem.
• Gensler (Design / Experience): Gensler is a global architecture and design firm with in-house visualization and brand-experience capabilities. It is a broader incumbent that competes for some of the same enterprise CGI / immersive work but as part of a much wider design portfolio.
