Our Resources

Experience Cutting-Edge Technologies for Immersive Narrative Development and Collaborative Creative Innovation.

Virtual Reality

VR is transforming university education with immersive learning environments. Students explore 3D models and simulations, making complex subjects more accessible while developing practical and soft skills essential for their careers.

Votanic XR

Extended Reality (XR) combines physical and virtual worlds through VR, AR, and MR technologies to enhance digital interaction. Its applications span entertainment, education, and industry sectors.

Virtual Production

Virtual production with projected settings enables filmmakers to create and manipulate realistic backgrounds in real-time, revolutionizing scene visualization and creative possibilities.

⁠Pepperscrim Hologram

PepperScrim is a transparent metallic gauze for large-scale 3D hologram projections. At 7 meters wide, it creates floating object illusions and supports both front and rear projections.

Looking Glass Hologram

The Looking Glass Hologram Camera creates 3D displays by capturing multiple perspectives and combining 45+ views. Users can adjust scene framing through sensors.

Looking Glass Avatar AI

Looking Glass Avatar AI enables students to control virtual environments and interact with holographic characters through VR, creating dynamic learning experiences.

⁠4D Volumetric Scanning

4D Volumetric Scanning captures performances in true 3D space, enabling innovative storytelling approaches and preserving detailed movements for virtual environments.

3D Printing

Students use 3D printing to create physical models from digital designs, developing creativity and problem-solving skills while learning engineering principles through prototype iteration.
