GeekForce

Web, mobile and desktop software from first prototype to launch

GeekForce builds web applications, mobile apps and desktop software. Work usually starts with an analysis of the client's business and technology needs, followed by a proof of concept, prototype or minimum viable product (MVP) that answers the challenge in hand. The company covers web applications for MVPs, SaaS products and e-commerce, both backend and frontend development, and software for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.

Scrum delivery with requirements that can change

Projects run in Scrum, so the client's own team can follow each development cycle and change requirements as the work goes on. The company describes the development phase as flexible and fully controllable, and says it manages delivery through to launch.

Marketplace for gaming and software

Client work includes GAMIVO.com, a gaming and software marketplace that GeekForce says it designed and built from scratch. The brief was an outstanding experience for both buyers and sellers. The company's answer was an enterprise search engine, easy-to-use panels for all users, affiliate programmes and an online support system.

Hotel app for rooms and guests

A hotel client commissioned an app that controls room lighting, handles video and audio contact with room service, and presents offers available to guests during their stay.

Mixed reality and gesture recognition

The team built a mixed reality system that reads hand gestures using convolutional neural networks. It was trained to recognise gestures such as swipe, pull, push, drawing a circle and grab. The system is modular and works with stereo and RGB-depth cameras and various hardware. The company describes it as a response to Microsoft's HoloLens. Mixed reality, virtual reality and augmented reality work is offered in general.

Robotics and sensor software

The company says it is part of a team building a complex household robot. The robot is mobile and has an arm and a dexterous manipulator. It plans and carries out tasks from what it sees, relying on LIDAR, RGB-D and image sensors, and the software it designed recognises objects and movement.

Research focus and wider services

Research and development work concentrates on AI, signal processing and machine learning. Other services include robotic process automation, sensor-based signal work, Internet of Things (IoT) systems, development of virtual or cloud servers, security work and testing.
