30 Years. 10 Sectors. One Consistent Approach.
From prehistoric caves to nuclear power plants. From Hollywood productions to Gulf security systems. From aerospace to superyachts. Every client below represents a problem we went all the way into.
Some of the most demanding immersive and multimedia work in AVG’s history was produced for the aerospace and defence sector — including projects for the European Space Agency, CNES, and Thales Group. A significant portion of this work was conducted under NDA or security classification; the standard 5-year confidentiality period has now expired on all pre-2020 engagements.
Notable projects
- European Space Agency (ESA) — Ariane 5 launch preparation, Guiana Space Centre. Immersive multimedia documentation produced with ESA and CNRS in French Guiana.
- CNES — Spacebus 3000 satellite programme. Multimedia production and interactive 3D content.
- ESA / CNES — Rosetta Philae spacecraft mission. Multimedia documentary and immersive media production.
- Thales Group (Thomson CSF) — AHV16 Altimeter multimedia guide. Full 3D reconstruction for interactive troubleshooting.
- Otonomy Aviation — Co-developed the first-ever 360° camera system for aircraft. Full technology stack: lens design, sensors, processing, integration. Bordeaux, 2017.
- Tier-1 defence and technology companies — including General Dynamics, BAE Systems, Rockwell Collins, and L3 Communications — active clients of the XstreamGenerator suite.
AVG’s energy credentials include some of the most technically demanding projects in our portfolio — work that required operating inside radioactive environments, understanding industrial safety systems, and delivering tools used by emergency response teams.
Notable projects
- GIE INTRA — Nuclear Power Plant — The first-ever image-based maintenance database for a French nuclear facility. 600+ rooms captured on-site under radioactivity constraints using film cameras. Scanned over 40 days. Used by maintenance teams and emergency robot operators. Built on OpenGL and MySQL.
- EDF, CEA & CNRS — Content and multimedia production for Électricité de France and the Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique.
- Broaden Energy — Digital twin and 360° documentation of a hydrogen electrolysis production facility, Dubai. Stéphane learned H₂ electrolysis technology before a single image was produced. One of the first immersive hydrogen facility projects in the Gulf.
AVG’s security credentials are anchored by XstreamGenerator (XsG) — the only independent CCTV camera virtualisation and benchmarking tool of its kind. Built by Stéphane Jacob when a hardware vendor saw the need but declined to fund the exclusivity. The tool is now used by 100+ companies globally.
XsG tier-1 customers include
Axis Communications · SAAB Security · Siemens · General Dynamics · Dallmeier · Milestone Systems · Johnson Controls · Gunnebo · Tyco Security · Seagate · DELL/EMC · Hitachi · Pivot3
Security sector engagement
AVG provides retained marketing, content, and business development services to security technology companies operating in the Gulf and MENA region. All client engagements in this sector begin with a full product and technology immersion — which is why the output is demonstrably different from what a general-purpose agency produces.
- Dubai Police Academy — Security and safety training platform. 23,000 registrations between 2007 and 2012. City & Guilds Award 2012 for contribution to training excellence.
AVG has been producing immersive content since 1996 — before the tools existed to do it easily. That history means a depth of workflow knowledge, quality control, and creative problem-solving that newer operators simply cannot match.
Notable projects
- Universal360 / Project Metamorphosis — Superyacht LiDAR digital twin, 72m vessel. Strategic partnership with Universal360 (Paul Shersby).

- Broaden Energy — Digital twin of a hydrogen production facility. First-of-kind immersive energy infrastructure documentation in the Gulf.
A recurring thread across 15 years — motorsport as an R&D and content environment, not simply a sponsorship. The Speedcar Series beta testing, the Nogaro track hire, and the Yas Marina production all tell the same story: real conditions, real technology, real validation.

Sometimes the product-first approach means building the product yourself. AVG has a history of hardware prototyping and engineering consulting that most creative and technology agencies cannot claim.
