About Finger Food Studios

Finger Food Studios is a Canadian enterprise technology studio whose work spans custom software, connected products and immersive digital experiences. Founded in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, in 2009, it began developing mobile applications and games before expanding into enterprise innovation and industrial applications. It subsequently traded as Finger Food Advanced Technology Group, also known as Finger Food ATG.

The studio combined software engineering, interaction design and hardware prototyping to develop applications connecting digital content with physical products and environments. Its capabilities included augmented, virtual and mixed reality, artificial intelligence, computer vision, robotics and the Internet of Things. Real-time 3D formed a central part of its work, supporting applications ranging from spatial product visualization to industrial design and digital transformation.

From prototypes to enterprise applications

Finger Food's services extended from digital strategy and rapid prototyping through custom application development, cloud architecture and enterprise systems integration. Its multidisciplinary approach brought designers and engineers together around technical challenges for large organizations, including Fortune 500 and Global 1000 businesses. Projects addressed manufacturing and transportation as well as retail, consumer products, energy, healthcare and entertainment.

Its portfolio illustrates that range: mixed-reality engineering tools, retail visualization experiences, connected toy applications and interfaces that translate movement or device data into interactive experiences. These projects applied capabilities developed across gaming, mobile software and spatial computing to practical business and product requirements.

Acquisition and integration

Unity Technologies announced its acquisition of Finger Food in May 2020. The team was integrated into Unity Industrial, subsequently Accelerate Solutions, supporting the adoption of real-time 3D beyond video games. The acquisition connected Finger Food's enterprise application experience with Unity's development platform. The supplied research identifies Finger Food Studios Inc. as a corporate subsidiary distinct from its publicly traded acquirer, Unity Software Inc.; the studio's history and project credits therefore remain attributable to Finger Food.

More about Finger Food Studios

Founders and leadership history

  • Ryan Peterson and Trent Shumay founded the studio. Following the acquisition, Peterson became Vice President of Accelerate Solutions at Unity; the report does not establish that he still holds that role.

Holographic prototyping

  • The studio unveiled its 25,000-square-foot Holodeck in December 2016. It combined Microsoft HoloLens hardware with customized real-time 3D pipelines for full-scale holographic prototyping.
  • The report describes automotive design iteration cycles being shortened from six months to three days through this approach.

Expansion support

  • The Calgary expansion secured a commitment of up to $3.5 million from the Opportunity Calgary Investment Fund in September 2019. The proposed centre targeted digital transformation in natural resources, agriculture and healthcare.
