AI Statement
Lead Witch Studios realizes the benefits and dangers that AI poses not only to our work but our customer's as well. As with any other tool, we use it where it is most effective and does not expose our customers to unnecessary risk.
Frequently Asked Questions: AI Use
-
We use AI for coding assistance, but not for anything demanding artistic judgement and/or art and video creation.
-
The risk posed by assets generated by copyrighted or stolen work goes beyond our risk tolerance as its commercial use is still being litigated.
Our team and vendors are experts, we don't leave the visuals to chance.
-
AI is a genuinely helpful tool when it comes to tasks that require automation, testing and optimization.
We prioritize crafting solutions by hand to ensure quality, scalability and security.
-
End-to-end testing, clean up (if necessary), automation and documentation on human-crafted content/processes.
We don't use the cloud service models for security reasons and instead rely upon local models. -
Yes, we can show you all files as we craft our solutions with human interaction for every line of code and asset.
-
No. We take a thoughtful approach to using AI as the tool that it is and not as a blanket solution.
-
Not only are we able to use AI more effectively for solution delivery, we have the expertise to fill in the gaps left behind.
Such as: documentation; clear and concise architecture; hallucinated results; context-specific direction and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between AR, VR, MR, and XR?
-
VR - "Virtual Reality" = Fully immersive content, usually requiring a closed-off headset with 2 screens to create the illusion of an entire reality (Meta Quest, Pico, VIVE, etc.)
-
AR - "Augmented Reality" = Content is that is presented over the physical reality or "augments" it through a camera or see-through screen. (Tablets, Mobile Phones, Smart Glasses, etc.)
-
MR - "Mixed Reality" = Content that is a combination of physical and digital layers that both interact in real time. (Hololens, Apple Vision Pro, etc.)
-
XR - "Ex-Arr" = A variable term like in mathematics/programming where X serves as the collective for all of the above. Also sometimes called "Extended Reality" for edge cases or classifications that don't fit neatly in one class or another.
How much does this actually cost?
Prices vary and depend on the complexity, platform and desired delivery solutions but here is a range of what you can expect:
-
AR/VR solutions: 15,000–49,999 (entry-level prototypes)
-
Custom VR brand activations: 50,000–500,000+
-
AR experiences: 20,000–200,000 (2–6 month timelines)
AR is more expensive due to the current limitations of hardware and the amount of preparation time required to make the solution both high-fidelity and optimized.
-
VR content production: 50,000–500,000 (3–6 month development)
Will this actually help our business? What's the ROI?
In a word, yes. XR is more than just a cool app and we recommend the best approach that will serve not only for the initial project but create a library for the future as well.
VR learners train up to 4x faster than classroom learning
AR delivers 300% higher performance than traditional campaigns
VR reduces training time by 60% in enterprise deployments
AR product visualization cuts returns by 30% and increases order values by 25%
How long does it take?
Again it depends on the particular scope but here is some ranges:
Prototype = 1-2 Months
Enterprise-grade application = 6-9 months
Branded experience = 2-4 months
Can you work with our existing system?
Yes, we are able to integrate into almost any library, system or platform (DAM, PLM, xAPI/SCORM, SSO, APIs, etc.) or security requirements you have.
Can you scale with us?
Absolutely! As mentioned, we're not only creating a project but an entire library of assets that can be used, modified and added to any and all future programs. You can either choose to keep your library with us for the fastest pivot or can own it yourself.
