Exciting Times at Newbringer!

We're leveling up with two brilliant new minds! Say hello to Berna Shalci and Sivert Espeland Husebø – our newest AI wizards, who have just landed at Newbringer’s Mission Control Center in Kristiansand. A major milestone for us!

We’re thrilled to have them on board and can't wait to explore new dimensions of our unique IRL gaming universe together. Welcome aboard, Berna and Sivert – this is going to be fun! 🎉

For those who haven’t heard: Newbringer is developing a groundbreaking game universe experienced in the real world – IRL Gaming. We’re taking gaming beyond the screen, turning it into a physically active experience using advanced AI, computer vision, and sensor fusion.

This is gaming that gets you off the couch – and into adventure! 🔥

Shifter Covers Our Journey – From Screen to Reality! 🚀

Gaming has always allowed us to explore new worlds. Now, we’re taking it a step further – bringing the game into the real world. At Newbringer, we’re developing technology that seamlessly integrates physical environments into gameplay, whether you're playing outdoors in the forest or indoors in specially designed arenas.

We've just secured 5 million NOK in funding to take this vision forward, and Shifter has covered our journey! Huge thanks to our team and investors who believe in us.

What’s next? Our first commercial pilot is launching in partnership with Skyland AS in 2026! We’re bringing the technology indoors to create an entirely new form of active gaming – a key step toward making IRL (In Real Life) gaming accessible to even more people.

Things are popping in the lab!💥

The extraordinary geek team at Newbringer has recently achieved a significant breakthrough by completing our first prototype, where both software and hardware work in perfect harmony. This marks the beginning of a revolutionary new way to experience gaming - in the real world. But before we continue celebrating with cakes and cabbage rolls, let's spice it up with the news that the Sørnorsk Filmsenter has recently granted us a production subsidy of NOK 150,000. A thousand thanks!

They justify the grant as follows: "A well-developed and funded game at a high professional level. The applicant has won pitch competitions and is also developing new gaming technology."

We look forward to continuing our work to make the gaming everyday life extra exciting and more varied!

Great start to the new year for Newbringer! 🚀

Recently, we were granted a research project in collaboration with NORCE. We aim to make IRL (In Real Life) Gaming a popular sport, and in this context, we will explore several exciting technologies and opportunities around AI and machine vision. We look forward to collaborating with NORCE and combining our own AI expertise with their researchers.

Hattrick! 🏆

Wow! First support from Cultiva, then a grant from Innovation Norway, and now topped off with victory in the Sparebanken Sør and Digin Innovation Prize!

A big thank you to everyone who has supported our innovative IRL Gaming concept – where we turn gaming into an active and engaging outdoor experience. This recognition is an important step on the path to realization.
