About Aerial Icon

From aerial 360° capture to AI-generated immersive environments

Our story

Built from real production experience

Aerial Icon started with aerial and 360° capture, giving the company hands-on experience creating immersive environments in the real world.

That production experience exposed a bigger problem: immersive content is powerful, but expensive, slow and difficult to adapt.

Aerial Icon is now using AI to make immersive environment creation faster, more flexible and more scalable — through Ubidio as the core platform, and UbiFloat as an applied wellbeing product line.
