Studios and Equipment

I create immersive experiences using next-generation technology.

XR Studio

Step into the XR Studio, where 36 feet of LED walls and floors transport you straight into your boldest ideas. Our state-of-the-art virtual production studio lets you build entire worlds with photos, videos, and 3D Unreal Engine environments.

It’s not just about seeing—it’s about being there. Imagine racing on an F1 track or soaring through space. With an OptiTrack motion capture system and a green room ready for costume changes, every detail of the XR Studio is designed to help you tell your story by making the unreal, real.

Experience + Edit Center

In the Experience + Edit Center, you don’t just watch it, you live it. Haptic chairs shake with actions, Dolby Atmos 360 sound surrounds you, and VR headsets drop your team into alternate realities.

Then, jump into the editing bay with DaVinci Resolve to cut and color your projects LIKE A PRO!

Arcade

From 98” gaming screens and high-speed racing simulators to cutting-edge VR headsets, our Arcade is your playground to play, test, and shape the future of gaming. Whether you’re doing “research” for your next game concept or leveling up your skills, our Arcade puts the industry’s most immersive technology directly at your fingertips.
