Surface the photographs, documents, and recordings in your collection, and let visitors explore them in context.
Engage communities connected to a place as partners in telling its story, and amplify underrepresented history.
The experience
Tapestry turns your site, exhibition, or landscape into a guided 3D experience that audiences can explore from anywhere. Starting with a high-quality 3D representation, we preserve the scale, surfaces, and detail of the real place, then build a narrative journey through it.
As visitors move through the experience, narration, local voices, expert perspectives, photographs, video, maps, and archival materials bring the story into focus. The result is more than a 3D model: it is an immersive, interpretive experience designed for public engagement.
It all runs in a web browser, with nothing to download or install — so visitors can explore on a phone, tablet, or computer, wherever they are.
The spatial foundation of the experience: a photoreal 3D environment that gives audiences a sense of place, scale, and movement.
A guided story built around narrated scenes, helping visitors move through the experience with context, pacing, and purpose.
First-person perspectives, expert interpretation, community stories, and oral histories that bring human meaning to the place.
Archival images, video, audio, maps, and documents that deepen the story beyond the 3D environment.
Moments for users to explore, choose, look closer, compare, reflect, or engage with specific features of the story and site.
Distribution
No apps, no downloads, no special hardware — one link works on your website, in your galleries, and in your visitors’ pockets.
Embed Tapestry into your existing website, so audiences explore without ever leaving it.
Run it on a touchscreen or kiosk as an interactive stop for on-site visitors.
One link drops into a newsletter, a lesson plan, a social post, or a QR code on the wall.
It runs in any modern browser — phones, tablets, and computers alike.

We align on your audience, your interpretive goals, and the scope of the project.
VirtualTogether we choose the themes, locations, voices, and source material at the heart of the experience.
VirtualCyArk documents your site in 3D and records the interviews, narration, and media the story needs.
On siteWe build the experience, weaving 3D models, scenes, voices, media, and interaction together.
In studioYour team reviews everything and helps us get the accuracy, tone, and interpretation right.
VirtualWe host, share, and embed the finished experience wherever your audience will find it.
