HELSINKI, FINLAND (March 4, 2021) – Anarky Labs is creating a disruptive user experience for professional drone pilots using Augmented Reality.
We, at Anarky Labs, are creating a novel user experience for professional drone pilots by utilizing spatial interfaces and world-based data visualizations via the latest augmented or mixed reality technology like Microsoft's Hololens 2. So, we are combining drones and augmented reality and doing it outside, which is challenging and fun!

Founded in March 2020, we are a young and yet productive startup. Our two co-founders, Hannu Lesonen and Lassi Immonen, have known each other since they were students at University of Lapland, and they have been collaborating on several projects since then. The cooperation is very fruitful and soon after the company was created, things started to happen quickly. After getting our hands on Hololens 2 our MVP was created within a couple of months. We also just received a substantial investment, and we are preparing for the product launch any moment now.
Augmented Reality and drones
Currently, we are only working on professional drone UX projects, but the feature roadmap is huge. We are already being asked for specific, extra features by expert operators. And the drones are only the first stepping stone of these world-based user interfaces that we are planning.

Our solution in a nutshell
Our application is something that drone servicing companies have been waiting for for a long time. Thanks to new level of situational awareness our application provides an unrivaled efficiency in data collection by cutting operation times.
Here are some of the key benefits:
· Pilot training made easier and shorter
· Improved working comfort
· Night flights made possible
· No spotter assistance needed
· Vital drone information in meaningful ways
