Empire Technology Competitors

Squint/Opera, a Journey studio, specialises in immersive, interactive experiences and visually compelling content that bridge the digital and physical for architecture, urban planning, and cultural projects. We're the innovators behind the Empire State Building Observatory's digital reinvention, creating over 40 unique exhibits that transform 10,000 square feet into an interactive journey through history and architecture. At Battersea Power Station, we designed Lift 109, an immersive ascent experience that melds cutting-edge animations, interactive elements, and spatial soundscapes to breathe new life into London's iconic landmark. For Qiddiya City, we pushed the boundaries of virtual production, crafting a revolutionary campaign that ignited global excitement for Saudi Arabia's visionary sports and entertainment mega-development. And in 2025 we redefined the way a nation tells its story through the Kingdom of Saudi Pavilion at World Expo 2025, where history, culture, and innovation converge with cutting edge storytelling and technology. Squint/Opera is a founding studio of Journey, the global design and innovation agency shaping the future through multidimensional experiences (MDX) that connect people, brands, and culture.
