Our Technology

Immersive Live Action Camera

Our developed camera and production proccess alows us to produce immersive live action content that is high in image quality - high resolution capture and color contrast with optimal resolution of 5k x 5k. Due to technical characteristics (compact, versatile, lightweight and waterproof) our camera allows it to be used in wide array of locations and environmental conditions and to flexibly use creative directing techniques to further enhance the visual impact (steadycam, POV, underwater). Directional surround sound and 3D sound are used to maximize the immersive experience.

Audio Software Development

Immersive 3D and 2D sound panning software, designed for live shows and production application. With integration of 3D motion sensors it makes writing complex panning trajectories seamless and fast. All speaker configurations possible, from simple 2D surround, up to 32ch 3D setup.
