About WorldCAST

WorldCAST was created by KP9 Interactive, a computer vision software development company located in beautiful Owen Sound, Ontario Canada led by Wil McReynolds. 


KP9 Interactive started as a marketing agency formerly known as Augmented Marketing in 2011. Augmented Marketing specialized in creating augmented reality apps for businesses, cities, tourism operators, museums, art galleries and more. With every experience we created we found ourselves with never ending app maintenance due to the evolving nature of technology, hardware, app stores and device compatibility. It was time consuming and expensive for our B2B clients therefore acquiring additional business or to manage multiple projects was challenging. 


In 2015, Wil McReynolds, our CVO/CTO was recognized as a preferred developer on the Metaio platform and even signed a contract with Thomas Alt to become a content partner when Apple swooped in and acquired Metaio leaving all developers in limbo to either dissolve or move on to use another platform. 


Augmented Marketing chose neither path. We built our own software solution and created KP9 Interactive. 


We evaluated the market opportunity and started building what we call today, WorldCAST. An augmented reality end to end platform that allows creative people, not developers, a code-free solution to create professional AR experiences on the web. No app required which means no hassle and less stress. What used to take weeks to months to build an AR experience now can take as little as a few minutes with all the assets ready to upload. Publishing and editing is instant. Creators don’t have to worry about the next iOS or Android update or if the next Apple phone is going to support a specific model type. We do all the tech so creative people can just create. 


The web is available to everyone. AR should be too! #ARForAll
