Our Process
At the core of our Tapestry and VR experiences is a high resolution and photorealistic 3D model that serves as the perfect canvas for storytelling and provides opportunities for open world exploration.
We employ a collaborative narrative development process to help adapt existing interpretive plans and tours for physical locations or create an entirely new interpretative framework to help reach a new virtual audience.
Our interpretive planning process consists of 4 steps completed prior to digital documentation fieldwork:
1
Understanding Goals and Objectives
2
Exploring Interpretive Opportunities
3
Concept Brief Creation
