Kazendi

Kazendi was a London-founded mixed reality development studio that combined bespoke enterprise software development with proprietary collaboration products. Established in 2014, it focused on Microsoft HoloLens applications, augmented and virtual reality, and interactive spatial experiences. Its work connected rapid software prototyping with practical uses in enterprise collaboration, construction, manufacturing, healthcare and consumer engagement.

The studio offered mixed reality strategy consulting, enterprise ideation workshops and short development sprints intended to turn business ideas into working proofs of concept. This approach supported both experimental projects and commercial deployments, allowing clients to explore spatial interfaces, visualize information and develop immersive experiences around their products or operations. Its commercial model combined commissioned development with applications developed by the studio itself.

Collaboration and spatial visualization

HoloMeeting, launched in 2017, was Kazendi’s flagship remote holographic collaboration platform for Microsoft HoloLens and Windows Mixed Reality headsets. It enabled distributed teams to meet in shared spatial environments, interact through avatars and review three-dimensional material together. Support for CAD and BIM assets made the platform relevant to architecture, engineering and construction workflows, including collaborative design reviews. A healthcare configuration extended the product into medical and clinical remote assistance.

Kazendi also developed HoloStream, an iOS companion application for monitoring, recording and casting HoloLens video feeds on iPhones and iPads. Alongside these products, the studio produced interactive installations and bespoke enterprise prototypes.

Commercial work and history

Its projects included the 2017 Rooted in Exception experience for Rémy Martin, which used HoloLens devices to present interactive vineyard terrain during consumer tasting activations. The report also identifies spatial visualization and ideation engagements for Swarovski, Unilever, Deloitte, Allianz and Selligent.

Kazendi’s development activity wound down before its legal dissolution in September 2024. Its work represents a period of early commercial experimentation with mixed reality headsets, spanning enterprise collaboration tools, technical visualization and immersive brand experiences.
