Oversampling the World for VR, AR & Virtual Production
Hyperacuity: [/haɪ.pɚ-əˈkjuː.ə.t̬i/] A greater than normal acuteness of a sense such as sight, touch or sound.
Hyperacuity uses the most advanced imaging and scanning technologies to capture the world at a even greater level of detail than can be experienced in RR (Real Reality) to create a rich world for VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality) that can be explored with virtual tools such as virtual telescopes and microscopes to explore and explain in novel ways.
We help tell the stories and create the interaction for Cultural Heritage Projects, Artists, Scientists, Technology Companies, Native Peoples and Museums around the world.
