What We Do
We build experiences that immerse, connect, and convert—uniting spatial computing, contextual intelligence, and authored storytelling to create the brand relationships passive media cannot. For brands and cultural institutions ready to move first.
Auteur Studio is a creative technology studio grounded in art, filmmaking, and branded entertainment. We use intelligence-driven systems, spatial experience, and real-world analytics to move engagement off the screen and into the physical world.
Built on early adoption and first-of-kind work across entertainment, advertising, and immersive media, we bring award-winning craft and the instincts of storytellers to spatial experience at scale.
Auteur is led by founder David Van Eyssen. His authored work—from award-winning branded series to spatial installations for brands and institutions—has consistently predicted the rise of new platforms and pioneered the work that defines them.
The brand stops being something you watch—and becomes someone you connect with.
Branded contextual intelligence, embedded inside the spatial experience—products that speak, guide, perform, and remember. Delivered in any browser, desktop or mobile, with no app to download.
Selected Work
Cultural Institution—AR + Intelligence
An AR extension of a Los Angeles museum's exhibition catalogue—bringing Cold War-era objects into the visitor's space through spatial collage, with an integrated contextual intelligence.
Brand Activation—Automotive
An immersive spatial platform reimagining brand engagement—combining intelligence-driven interaction, real-world analytics, and cinematic narrative.
Publishing—AR + Intelligence
Living extensions of physical books—AR scenes and conversational intelligence characters that carry the story beyond the printed page.
Editorial Platform—Brand · Web · Intelligence
A venture-capital podcast reimagined as a media brand—identity, brand film, a living editorial website, and a contextual intelligence trained on the show's entire archive.
Intelligence × AR
An contextual intelligence woven into a spatial AR experience—the product itself speaks, performs, and remembers, turning a single browser link into direct contact with the thing a customer might buy.
Immersive Installation—Spatial XR
A life-scale spatial work—26 feet high—to be installed at a Los Angeles museum exhibition in 2026. A first-person spatial experience exploring the boundaries of physical and digital presence.
Immersive Installation—Virtual Sculpture
A life-scale virtual sculpture of two cars colliding—their drivers thrown and entangled mid-air, seen through AR. Shown at MOCA London (2024) and Los Angeles (2025).
Scientific Visualisation—Spatial
An immersive spatial platform translating cutting-edge genomics research into a navigable three-dimensional experience.
Intelligence
Every experience is instrumented—real-world behaviour becomes live intelligence that sharpens what comes next.

Why It Works
The screen isn’t just a display—it’s a portal. Spatial computing turns the device in every pocket into a new window on the physical world. Not content to consume, but worlds to enter.
Most digital experiences are confined: watch, scroll, click, repeat.
Spatial computing changes the relationship. When digital content enters the physical world, it gains scale, context and presence.
People can approach it, move around it, explore it and interact with it. The experience becomes something they do, not only something they see.

Early augmented reality could be compelling, but largely fixed. Intelligence changes that.
Experiences can now respond to each person—what they ask, what they explore and where their interest takes them.
The result isn’t simply immersive media, it’s responsive media.
Conversational Intelligence
Audiences engage through natural language—asking questions, exploring detail and following their own line of interest.
Relevant imagery, video, audio, information and links appear in response. Navigation becomes conversation: contextual, responsive and personal.
Operational Intelligence
Understanding becomes action.
Intelligence that extends beyond conversation into responsive digital and physical experiences. The next phase.
The Intelligence Layer
Flat-screen analytics measure attention through proxies—clicks, scroll depth, time-on-page. Spatial computing captures behavior directly in three dimensions: not just what someone touched, but from which angle, at what scale, in what sequence—and how that changes across return visits, environments, and audiences.
Track Record
Work spanning BMW, Google, LG, Motorola, Pepsi, and leading cultural institutions including MoCA London and The Wende Museum.
