Since 2013, weโ€™ve been building and deploying cutting-edge solutions at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), mixed reality (MR), and augmented reality (AR). Our products have supported clients in defense, healthcare, nuclear power, sports, and consumer techโ€”delivering real-world impact across industries. What We Do Best: ๐Ÿ” AI-Driven Computer Vision We design and deploy custom models for object detection, facial recognition, image segmentation, pose estimation, and depth sensing. Our team works with Appleโ€™s Vision framework, YOLO, TensorFlow, CoreML, MediaPipe, and OpenCVโ€”optimized for mobile, edge, and embedded systems. ๐Ÿš€ OpenClaw ClawdBot Early Innovator! I created the first OpenClaw governance and safety layer (like antivirus but for controlling AI Agents) called ClawBoss.ai . It deterministically blocks unauthorized agent actions, secures users API keys, tokens, etc. and even anonymizes their personal information. ๐Ÿง  Machine Learning at the Edge From real-time inference on mobile devices to on-device learning for AR headsets and IoT sensors, we specialize in bringing intelligence to constrained environmentsโ€”without reliance on the cloud. ๐Ÿ›  Cross-Platform Spatial App Development Whether itโ€™s ARKit on iOS, RealityKit on Vision Pro, or MRTK on Hololens, we bring ideas to life with a robust technical stack: Swift, Flutter, Unity 3D, Python, and more. Weโ€™ve built camera-based systems, gesture controls, UWB positioning features, and context-aware spatial workflows. ๐Ÿงฌ Human Behavior & Emotion Tracking Weโ€™ve built AI pipelines for facial expression classification, gaze detection, and skeletal tracking, applied in high-stakes domains like defense, public safety, and professional sports. ๐Ÿš€ Rapid Prototyping & Productization We go beyond demos. Our team takes concepts from wireframes to working prototypesโ€”and then all the way to deployed systems used in the field. Clients often tap us for technical validation, pilot programs, and IP-generating innovations. Letโ€™s talk about how we can bring your next AI + AR project to lifeโ€”efficiently, creatively, and with future-proof architecture.

Hi, I'm Leo, a Top-Rated Plus Unity Developer with 13 years of experience. I've been a full-time freelancer on Upwork for over 9 years, maintaining 100% Job Success across 15,000+ hours. Clients rely on me for steady, responsive collaborationโ€”I'm here every weekday, reply quickly, and keep projects moving. I take on both new builds and the work many developers shy away from: bringing legacy or broken Unity projects back to life. What I do best: โ€ข Gameplay Systems โ€“ Building puzzle mechanics, racing physics, casual games, VR/AR interactions, etc. โ€ข Integrations โ€“ Setting up ads, analytics, and platform tools (Meta Quest, SteamVR, VRChat, Map SDK). โ€ข Optimization โ€“ Profiling and fixing performance issues so everything runs smoothly on target devices. โ€ข Project Modernization & Rescue โ€“ Upgrading outdated Unity versions, fixing deprecated code, refactoring messy codebases, and porting old projects to modern platforms (WebGL, mobile, VR/AR). What clients say about working with me: "Didn't just follow instructions โ€“ added creative touches and smart improvements at every step." I focus on those extra details that make your project better. "Made everything easy and efficient... professionalism stood out." Clear communication and on-time delivery. "Always communicates... puts his heart into his work." Collaboration is smooth and straightforward. "Would hire again in a heartbeat." I aim to be your long-term partner. My specialties: โ€ข Fun games (Puzzles, Casual, Racing โ€“ Mobile / PC) โ€ข VR & AR experiences (Meta Quest apps and games) โ€ข Interactive tools and applications โ€ข Quick prototypes and test versions โ€ข Legacy project recovery, upgrades, and platform porting If you have an old Unity project that needs a steady hand, or a new idea you want built right the first time, let's talk. I'm ready to help bring it to life.

FAQs on Hiring Augmented Reality Developers

What is augmented reality?

Augmented reality (AR) is a computer technology that involves superimposing computer-generated graphics over a userโ€™s view of the real world. From developing custom social media filters to building interactive AR-powered video games, AR developers are here to help. 

How do you hire augmented reality developers?

You can source AR talent on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. Youโ€™ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in AR developers.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once youโ€™ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview AR developers. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of AR developer you need to complete your project.

How much does it cost to hire an AR developer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced AR developer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their AR development services more competitively. 

Rates typically charged by AR developers on Upwork are:

  • Beginner: $17 per hour
  • Intermediate: $42 per hour
  • Advanced: $199 per hour

How do you write an AR developer job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you donโ€™t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if theyโ€™re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what youโ€™re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample augmented reality developer job post titles:

  • Augmented reality specialist needed for a mobile app (iOS/Android)
  • Building an AR app with Unity
  • Need an AR developer to build models for an AR shopping app

Project description

An effective AR job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From AR advertisements to AR games, list all the deliverables youโ€™ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, developer tools, or AR technologies, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Augmented reality developer job responsibilities

Here are some examples of AR developer job responsibilities:
