Founded in August 2021, Adler focuses on streamlining the development of 3D applications and ensuring smooth performance on web platforms and low-spec devices. The company aims to establish itself as the global standard in 3D environments, including platforms such as Apple’s AR Vision Pro.

Adler possesses a proprietary lightweight 3D engine and programming language called Adler XRML. Leveraging this technology, the company served as an official technical partner at Focus Paris 2022 in France and showcased its capabilities on the global stage by engaging in 3D product production for international companies associated with the German mobility hub, Drivery.

The company plans to release its engine publicly this year, allowing other developers to harness its 3D technology. Yurica Ovaerenu, founder of Adler, stated in a release on Feb. 2, “I believe 3D is the future, and it’s important to lead the way while skepticism is rampant. Building upon Adler’s expertise, we aim to emerge as a frontrunner in the XR era.”
