Free-roam shared VR: 60+ people move through the same space, up to 1,000 sqm, and share one virtual world in real time, with no cables. We built the platform in Unreal Engine for standalone headsets. LBE at scale.
Urban Echoes is our geolocated AR game in the Map of History universe, and it reads any city as layers of time. As Ecco, a time explorer with the Time Orb, players cross the eras, from Al-Ándalus through Gothic, Baroque and Modernisme to the present, while La Grieta, a temporal anomaly, tries to erase every echo.
Astro is an energy management platform for companies with solar installations. It brings consumption from the distributors, the invoices and the solar inverters into one place, scores each building and shows where and when to save. We built the web application, the API and the landing page.

WTHUFF was El HuffPost's chatbot for its eleventh-anniversary campaign, En un mundo WTF, respuestas #WTHUFF, made with Officer & Gentleman.

An interactive installation for IKEA's Next Gen Seniors at Plaza de Colón during Madrid Design Festival 2022. Under five arches, one per generation, visitors answered questions about ageing in the city, and AI turned their answers into a colour. We built everything that ran it: the tablet app, the AI analysis that scores each answer and the real-time visuals shown on the arches.
Carvana's Joyride campaign gave each customer a video about the day they bought their car: their name, the car, the date and place, and what was happening in the world that day. AI wrote the scripts and generated the images and voice, and a serverless render pipeline on AWS produced up to 300,000 videos an hour, more than 1.3 million in total.
An installation for the launch of Netflix's The Adam Project. A forest of 25 six-metre trees became a time capsule: visitors scanned a QR code on a tree, recorded a voice message to the future and watched a pulse of light climb to the lamp at the top.
An AR investigation game in El Retiro Park, Madrid, that continues RTVE Playz's series Yrreal. The player is a rookie police officer who works with Mario or with Andrea and follows their route looking for Lucía.

Lunar X runs 15+ kids' IPs across more than a hundred YouTube channels. We built the platform that feeds them: episodes come in from Drive, are composed into videos, get their metadata and go out as uploads, livestreams and monetised videos, all as background jobs.
Uproof turns owning an NFT into something you can show at the door. Built for Union Avatars, it lets holders log in with their wallet, see their NFTs on Ethereum and Polygon, and carry a certificate of ownership on their phone; organisers create events and scan those certificates to let people in.
From 2022 to the end of 2025 we worked as an extension of RSS.com's product team.

iF lastmile is a last-mile logistics company: it keeps brands' stock in fulfilment shops and delivers, exchanges and returns their orders. In 2022 they wanted to give those brands one place to run their operation, and we joined their team to build it: engineers and a designer, in two-week missions.
Nefty was an idea for music: instead of selling a ticket, sell an NFT of the artist's music video reworked by AI, and let whoever holds it into the artist's private events.
NEUART.ai was our creative AI label in 2022, a showcase rather than a product for sale. It worked in two ways: pure AI, where images, video and animation come straight from text, steered with words, phrases and concepts; and image-based, where an existing picture or video is the seed of a one-off piece that cannot be made again.
Union Avatars turns a selfie into a realistic full-body 3D avatar that travels with you across virtual worlds. In 2022 we built the web platform where that happens.
A film for Jose Cuervo in which two robots, Alice and Bob, go on a blind date and every line they say was written by AI. The robots were built by Engineered Arts; the conversation was ours, with Espadaysantacruz.

Young Wild Hunters is a hunting brand with two sides: a production company that makes films and series for its community, and a shop for its own products. We built one site for both: a headless Shopify store with our own Next.js front end, YWH TV for the videos, and a marketplace we kept growing until 2023.
Troko City rewards people for supporting the shops on their street. In the app, shoppers like and review local businesses, earn credit for it, and spend that credit as discounts: at the till, they scan the shop's QR code and the offer is applied.
A financial-education landing page for WiZink's Finanzas descomplicadas, designed and built by Crowtec. At its centre is a calculator: pick minimum payment, fixed payment or a percentage, set the credit you have used and see when you finish paying, the total and the interest.
El Gran Secreto is the fourth Map of History adventure, commissioned by the Vice-Rectorate for Students of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and released across its campus in 2021.

Bahía Mar is an escape room about saving energy, made in 2020 for Banco Santander with the agency Efecto Colombo and open to anyone who wanted to play. Ana gets a letter from the United Nations University, her little brother lets it fly out of the window, and she has to chase it through a whole day: bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchen, the lift, the street, a bike ride and, at last, the beach.
La Ruta del Buzón Mágico turns the letter to the Three Kings into a walk through Madrid. Guided by the Star of Bethlehem, children look for the characters who can help them, find them on the street with the phone's radar, play a mini-game with each one, and post the letter in the magic mailbox.
SinVisitas let people rent a home in Madrid without visiting it. We built the platform behind it: a map search where tenants find homes by address or by drawing an area, virtual visits, rental requests scored by an AI service with a booking deposit paid online, and digital contracts; a space for owners to manage their homes and order repairs; and an admin panel for the team that runs it all.
FuelYourBrands connects brands with micro-influencers, creators with between 3,000 and 80,000 followers. A brand publishes a campaign with the product it offers, vetted creators apply, and the platform carries everything after that: content approval, usage rights, shipping and metrics.
The Biblioteca Saavedra Fajardo is a free digital library of Hispanic political thought, online since 2002 and run by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid's Department of Philosophy and Society.

Olea Sacra gives olive trees grown from cuttings of a young tree sent from the Garden of Gethsemane, in exchange for a donation to the Franciscans who look after the Holy Land. Its website had to tell that story before asking for anything.
Las Lomas de Denia is an apartment development near Denia, on the Alicante coast.

Cinegrafías turns your favourite film into a poster made from your pulse. You pick a film from the Movistar+ catalogue, hold a finger over the phone's camera, and your heartbeat redraws its poster as a field of coloured shapes, signed with your name where the star's would go. We built the app, the web and the poster generator.

Wakkap is a Spanish video game store. It launched in 2017 as a marketplace where players bought and sold games to each other, haggling with counter-offers until they agreed a price, with payment and Correos shipping in the middle. It later became a store for physical games and collector's editions, with 24 to 48 hour delivery and Plan Renove to trade in used games.
Blind swimmers train with a coach who signals the turn by tapping them on the head with a pole. Blind Cap replaces the pole with a swimming cap that vibrates.

Savior is Facthous's digital signage platform: an operator organises every screen in a tree, lays each one out from templates and fills it with images, video, RSS and social media. We built both halves, the web manager in Ruby on Rails and the player that runs on each screen, first in Java and then as an installable app for Windows and macOS.
Two sites for Pull&Bear in 2015, built with Espadaysantacruz. PullTheMetal was a blog that Pull&Bear and METAL Magazine wrote together about metal culture and music, set inside Pull&Bear's own website. PULL&BEAR PRESSROOM was where the brand handed its collections to the press.

CtOS Enabler is where Crowtec began: the final-year project of its three founders in Computer Engineering at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, in 2015. It is a cloud platform that gives any app a geolocation layer built on zones of influence: areas drawn on the map, by coordinates or by postal address, where the app stores data and reads what its users do when they walk in.
