About HarpyLabs

HarpyLabs Tecnologias Interativas conceives, engineers and develops innovative technology solutions for corporate, educational, technical, clinical and cultural challenges. Its portfolio covers custom software development, corporate web applications, SaaS platforms, systems and API integration, data engineering, information visualization and analytical applications that support decision making.

The company also develops digital simulations and interactive systems, three-dimensional environments, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and extended reality (XR) technologies, digital games and serious games. These solutions can support technical training, professional development, education, presentations of equipment and processes, health, rehabilitation and entertainment.

Its approach combines pragmatic software architecture, documentation from the earliest stages, security built into the development cycle, integration with corporate environments, and attention to usability and operational continuity. HarpyLabs seeks to deliver solutions that make complex data easier to understand, optimize resources and offer relevant, secure and engaging digital experiences.

Origins

HarpyLabs began at the Virtual and Augmented Reality Group of the Federal University of Uberlândia (GRVA/UFU), when a doctoral project by its founder showed the potential to become a product.

How we work

Pragmatic architecture: Engineering choices proportional to the organization's complexity, context and goals.
Documentation from the start: Records of decisions, interfaces and routines that make maintenance and knowledge transfer easier.
Integrated security: Controls built into the development cycle, such as corporate authentication, access management and security checks.
Integration with the client's environment: Attention to APIs, SSO, cloud infrastructure, operating rules and corporate governance.
Usability and experience: Accessible, clear interfaces for technical and non-technical audiences.
Continuity: Solutions designed for evolution, support and sustainable operation.
Interdisciplinarity: A convergence of software, visualization, interaction, 3D models, creativity and science.
