Immersive Tour Guide

MeshMap Labs, Inc., New York, NY, United States


GLO is reimagining sightseeing for the age of immersive tech. We create interactive gaming tours that transform real city streets into playful, story‑rich experiences using cutting‑edge augmented reality (AR) technology. Our tours are social, creative, and designed to make people feel like they’ve stepped inside the city rather than just walked through it. We’re building something new at the intersection of entertainment, culture, and technology, and we’re looking for tour operators who want to help define what immersive tourism can be.

The Position As an Immersive Tour Guide, you are the face of the experience. You’ll lead small groups through AR‑powered tours; onboard participants with AR headsets, guide gameplay, and ensure every participant feels confident, engaged, and excited from start to finish.
