Unbranded Scene Pricing

If you require a customized scene, PO-MO can create a new, unbranded scene for $100-$500 CDN

  • Unbranded scenes do not contain logos or proprietary graphics
  • Pricing is based on the amount of programming and graphic design required
  • PO-MO reserves the right to resell custom scenes through the website
  • We have the right to refuse to make a customized scene if the submitted content is explicit, offensive, or contains content that the purchaser does not have permission to use. (We do not refund orders that do not meet these requirements, so please do not submit graphics you don't own or content that is offensive or explicit).

Branded Scene Pricing

Branded scenes contain logos or proprietary graphics, and will not be redistributed by PO-MO, PO-MOtion, or any of our affiliates.

PO-MO determines the price of branded scenes on a case-by-case basis. Pricing is determined by the level of branding, expected usage, and the complexity of the design and programming. Contact us for more details.

What kind of equipment works best with PO-MOtion?

PO-MOtion will work on Mac or PC computers. It works best if you have a dual core processor, and around 2-4 GBs of RAM. A quad core processor is even better. Some scenes are more graphics-intensive than others.

How long does it take to get a custom ordered scene?

Custom orders are delivered by email within 5 business days of payment.

Can I use my own graphics in a scene?

Yes! If you order a custom scene from the site, you will be asked to upload your graphics once you've paid for the scene. If you use the Motion Maker Template Tools you can upload and preview your graphics online. If you aren't sure how to create or prepare your graphics, you can let us know and we'll be happy to help.

How can I make my own interactive floor and wall scenes?

You can use the Motion Maker tools to create your own interactive floor and wall scenes. We don't sell or distribute SDKs because we are trying to keep the project alive by selling content for as little as possible. Similar interactive systems with SDKs cost thousands of dollars.

If you are absolutely intent on having a software development kit, check out GestureTek or Eyeclick. They have amazing products.
