What do BMW, Tencent, Pokémon Go creator Niantic, movie director Jon Favreau and construction giant Skanska have in common?

They’re all using the same platform to create their products.

Foundation
Founded in a small Copenhagen apartment in 2004, Unity Technologies’ makes a game engine — a software platform for building video games.
“Unity wants to be the 3D operating system of the world,” says Sylvio Drouin, VP of the Unity Labs R&D team.

Usage
Customers can design, buy, or import digital assets like forests, sound effects, and aliens and create the logic guiding how all these elements interact with players (or their own customers).

Market explosion
In the fourteen years since Unity’s engine launched, the size of the global gaming market has exploded from $27 billion to $135 billion, driven by the rise of mobile gaming, which now comprises the majority of the market.
Nearly half of the world’s games are built with Unity, which is particularly popular among mobile game developers.

Modern days
Unity is increasingly used for 3D design and simulations across other industries like film, automotive, and architecture and is now used to create 60% of all augmented and virtual reality experiences.
