Neo Realms, a startup founded by Hamza Altaf, is developing technology centred around mid air holograms and projection mapping, with a specific application built for the real estate sector, positioning itself within a niche segment of Pakistan’s hardware and visual technology space that remains largely unexplored by local startups. The company’s work spans two distinct but related areas, mid air holographic display technology and projection mapping systems designed to help real estate developers and marketers present properties in a more visual and immersive format.
The startup’s use of projection mapping for real estate marks a specific commercial application of a broader set of display technologies that Neo Realms has been building, allowing property developers to showcase spaces, layouts, or design concepts through projected visuals rather than relying solely on physical models or two dimensional renderings. This kind of technology has typically required specialised technical expertise and equipment that has not been widely available within Pakistan’s startup ecosystem, placing Neo Realms among a smaller group of companies working on advanced visual and display hardware rather than software or services based products.
Hamza Altaf, as Founder of Neo Realms, has built the company around applying emerging display technologies to practical commercial use cases within Pakistan, rather than treating hologram and projection systems purely as experimental or demonstration tools. The combination of mid air hologram capability alongside a dedicated real estate projection mapping product suggests Neo Realms has been working to diversify its technology across more than one commercial application, giving the startup multiple potential revenue paths as it continues to develop within the local market.
The announcement referencing Neo Realms was shared alongside acknowledgements of Ignite National Technology Fund, Ministry Of IT and Telecommunication, NETSOL Technologies, National Aerospace Science and Technology Park, Air University, and Pakistan Aeronautical Complex Kamra, pointing to a network of institutional stakeholders associated with advanced technology and hardware development in Pakistan. The reference to National Incubation Center hashtags in the same announcement further situates Neo Realms within the incubation ecosystem that has supported a range of hardware and deep technology startups across the country.
Neo Realms’ focus on hologram and projection technology places the startup within a category of Pakistani companies attempting to build hardware centric products for commercial markets, an area that continues to require more specialised infrastructure and technical capability compared to software startups. Altaf’s message accompanying the announcement encouraged young Pakistanis to pursue their ideas with persistence, a theme that ties into Neo Realms’ own positioning as a startup working on technology that has not been widely developed or commercialised within the country before.
