Our Services
Photogrammetry is the conversion of a physical object to a 3D digital form which the user can interact. By photographing the object from multiple angles, a computer is able to use the photographs to reconstruct a virtual model.
Volumetric Capture is the use of a camera array to capture moving object in 3D, where the user can interact with the video as if they are physically present in that space.
