Ethical Emerging Technology

Ethical Experiences

We care about creating ethical experiences with technology, and have pledged not to work on beauty filters that modify face shape, skin tone, or skin texture. As new technologies such as ML are emerging, we are constantly evaluating them for their impact on the world and how to ethically incorporate them into our work.

XR Guild

We host the Santa Fe chapter of the XR guild, and stay up to date on the latest insights in the field as technologies develop. Our clients value our thoughtfulness around the impact of new technology, and we’re a proven partner when it comes to implementing it safely.
