BlackRhino VR Launches Africa’s First No–Code Augmented Realty Platform
Kenyan-based BlackRhino VR, a leader in Extended Reality technologies, has launched "MediAR," an innovative Augmented Reality (AR) platform aimed at empowering digital creators. This no-code platform features a user-friendly cloud editor and publishing platform with drag-and-drop technology, making AR content creation accessible without coding skills. It includes a unique revenue share model for monetizing content through a pay-per-view service, supporting both content creators and brands. Founded in 2015, BlackRhino VR is committed to changing Africa's narrative through immersive Virtual Reality content. CEO Brian Afande emphasized the platform's role in unlocking Africa’s creative sector, empowering youth, and demonstrating Africa's capacity as a technology innovator, not just a consumer. The company sees AR as a transformative tool in various sectors, including construction, education, and farming, with potential significant socio-economic impacts for Africa.
