RC Complex Systems brings together leading Russian scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs to design, create and manage modern technological platforms and science-intensive investment projects at the interstate level.

Modern technological challenges and the need for cooperation between government, society and science in addressing national strategic objectives have created the prerequisites for the introduction of new management tools — technological platforms.

The concept of the platform approach, created by RC Complex Systems experts, is based on the use of artificial intelligence, big data and the construction of advanced ecosystems — the technologies that make it possible to develop simple solutions for managing complex projects of any nature both in Russia and abroad.

Technological platforms are commonly referred to as the latest communication tools that enable to build effective interaction at all levels of a complex system of relations and create a space of trust between its participants. It is not just a question of using new technologies, but of transforming the state’s governance process and scaling it up in all areas of activity, from the development of scientific and commercial products to inter-state cooperation.

The MARMA augmented reality project is a technology of the future that allows any image, banner, object or stand to be ‘brought to life’, making them unforgettable. It is a real-time AR platform that augments the familiar physical world with digital objects, like video content and interactive 3D models.

Augmented reality technology is being successfully used as an effective tool for promoting services in convention and exhibition activities, advertising, construction, sports, retail, the restaurant business, the oil and gas industry, training, medicine, and other sectors. The use of AR in marketing and advertising activities opens up new prospects for attracting clients and boosting loyalty, increasing conversions, simplifying communication and generating brand awareness.

Do you want to capture your audience’s attention?

We can help your business stand out from the crowd!
We will take all your project wishes into account and implement them in the finished product.
