"We had the opportunity to work with HAI while providing consultancy for augmented reality to an innovative traveling exhibit. HAI's team successfully steered the project by organizing and managing the interpretive planning efforts, coordinating communications among a group of professionals with diverse backgrounds, and producing an extraordinary final document to support the client's fundraising. We are excited about partnering with HAI and bringing to future projects our expertise in envisioning and developing high-end digital solutions."
