What we’re building

The Experience Machine.

Step inside a real place or a story, measured and filmed for real. Change it with AI. Flip a switch and see exactly what’s real. It’s in development, and three layers get us there: one earns, one scales, one proves.

Layer 1 · Earn

The Experience Machine

Real places you can step inside, change with AI and still trust. What businesses buy, starting with real estate in Wilmington.

Available nowFull-Stack shoots: film, drone, LiDAR, VR tour
In developmentSplat twin, AI restyling, the reality switch, the app

Layer 2 · Scale

Pure Alacrity

The production operating system for every media project, and how a crew in Wilmington can direct certified crews anywhere.

Live · freeScript, schedule, budget, call sheets, live room and messages

What Alacrity means to us

Alacrity is the speed of optimism. Tomorrow is worth running toward, and we’d rather build it than wait for it.

BrightWe believe the future is better than the present, and we act like it. A little utopian, on purpose.
ReadyFuture-proof by habit. We build what the world will need before it asks.
FastThe urgency of a sprint. Ship, learn, ship again, while others are still predicting.
ElectricThe lightning in our mark: high energy, clear light, the spark the instant before you move.
BoldEvery project is a step into the unknown, taken on purpose. Adventure is the job.

Sprinting the Marathon of Tomorrow. The energy of a sprint, the endurance of a marathon, pointed at a brighter future. That’s Alacrity, and it’s ours.

The story so far

It started with one series and no system.

Every product we have exists because a production needed it. That’s still how we decide what to build.

2024 · Raleigh
A series, by hand
A community-college student starts shooting Sidequest, a crime dramedy about a gig economy run like a game.
2025 · Wilmington
The chaos
The production moves to the coast. Every change ripples by hand through schedules, budgets and call sheets.
2026 · January
The fix
So he builds Pure Alacrity to run a production as one record. It is running real shoots by March, free.
2026 · May 31
The proof
Right Here Right Now! ships to the Meta store: the first live-action interactive VR film in the entire Southeast USA.
Now
Real places
The same crew and software point at real homes, sites and venues, and toward the Experience Machine.

“Film crews have always known how to capture reality. We’re giving them the system to do it every day, for every industry, in an age that badly needs reality it can trust.”

Layer 3 · The power of entertainment

Where the engine gets famous.

Entertainment is where the hardest technical problems get solved first, the showroom that wins the next client after one demo, and the magnet for the crews who then use Pure. Every title runs on the same Pure → Bridge → Player pipeline paying clients use, and each is financed as its own project, so a film never puts the company’s operating cash at risk.

Right Here Right Now!

Released

The first live-action interactive VR film in the entire Southeast USA. It proved a small crew can ship branching live action, and that the hard part was managing the production.

Prize Pool VR

Pre-production

The flagship original and launch title for Alacrity Pass. The first title made start to finish on the full pipeline. Shooting next.

Sidequest

In post

The crime-dramedy series that started it all, and the reason Pure exists. A world written to grow into choose-your-path episodes.

Where it goes

From one engine to the Experience Machine.

Each step builds on the one before it, and we move as fast as each one proves out. The pieces already exist; now we’re joining them up.

Now
Full-Stack + Pure
Full-Stack shoots for brokers and developers, Pure live and free, and the first Experience Machine build underway.
Next
Reach
The Experience Machine on Meta and phones, Prize Pool VR on the full pipeline, Alacrity Pass, and certified crews in new cities.
Then
Network
A marketplace for certified crews, gear and locations, payroll, new doors in art, decor and commerce, and Alacrity Lab with UNCW.
Ultimately
Rails + risk
Production money flows through Pure. Risk data for financiers, guarantors and insurers, so film stops being a gamble.

Company

Built by a team that already shipped.

A team of film and computer science students in Wilmington shipped the first live-action interactive VR film in the entire Southeast USA to the Meta store, using production software they built themselves. That software now turns real places into experiences you can walk through, redesign with AI and verify. Alacrity means an eager readiness to act; Sprinting the Marathon of Tomorrow means urgency today for a future bigger than any one project.

Questions

Asked, and answered plainly.

Ask something else

What is D.C Alacrity?

A Wilmington, North Carolina company creating the Experience Machine: real places you can step inside, change with AI and still trust. Pure Alacrity, our production platform, is how we make it at scale, and our films are where both get proven first.

Do I need a VR headset?

No. The headset is the premium version. Alacrity Player ships on Meta Quest today; WebXR links and iOS and Android gyro apps are in development, so every experience can be watched with no headset at all.

Is Pure Alacrity really free?

Yes, every software feature. It is live at dcalacrity.com/pure, needs no account and works with no internet, and it has run real productions since March 2026. Next, we will charge for what goes beyond the software: big cloud storage, services and live support.

Where did Pure Alacrity come from?

Sidequest began with an Episode 1 beta shot in Raleigh in November–December 2024, while D.C Agwu was in community college. Production continued in Raleigh and Wilmington in 2025, followed by Wilmington pickups in January–October 2026. Pure development began in January 2026, after a majority of Episodes 1–3 had been shot. The original shoots did not use Pure; the production problems helped define it. Read the full chronology.

Can I use the Alacrity Player in my own project?

The Player reads the bundle a story graph compiles to, with the schema pinned on both sides. For the runtime, the bundle format or a pipeline of your own, write to us.

Is the Sidequest Episode 1 on YouTube the final episode?

No. It is the beta, from the November–December 2024 Raleigh production. Final Episode 1 has not been released. Season 1 Part 1 covers a prologue and Episodes 1–3, about 28 shooting days across 2024–2026, and is in post. See the release status.

What could come after Sidequest’s first three episodes?

The world was written to run for years: a prequel era, the FBI side of the case, and squad missions you can play on Alacrity Player. Those are creative directions, not announced releases. Explore the world.

Where can I watch Right Here Right Now!?

It’s free as a native app on the Meta Horizon Store (Quest 2, Pro, 3 and 3S) and on SideQuest: the first live-action interactive VR film in the entire Southeast USA, with 16 scene nodes, 22 paths and five endings.

What is Prize Pool VR?

A live-action VR180 thriller where you choose between Eli and Maya in a campus water-gun competition with a million-dollar prize. Explore loyalty, romance and betrayal across a branching story. In pre-production; qualified for a UNCW CHSSA Research Grant. Explore Prize Pool VR.

Do you take client work?

Yes. Interactive experiences for real estate, training and destinations, plus regular shoots, edits, colour and social content. Start a project and you get a written estimate within two business days.

What’s live today, and what’s in development?

Live: Pure Alacrity (free), Alacrity Player on Meta Quest, Right Here Right Now!, and Full-Stack shoots for real estate. In development: the Experience Machine app, Gaussian splat twins, AI restyling and the reality switch, WebXR and phone playback, Bridge, Insights, Pure channels, certified crews, Alacrity Pass and Prize Pool VR.
