Software for exploring 3D places and captured performances in a browser or headset. An earlier browser version was licensed for SuperMuseum: America; WebGPU and Apple Vision Pro versions are in development.
7 imagesA visitor can navigate a 3D environment, look around and encounter a recorded human performance inside it. Mirage connects that content to the viewer’s controls and the renderer that generates their view.
7 imagesThe earlier browser version renders a scene on a cloud GPU and streams the view to the visitor. Their input returns to the engine. The prototype supported multiplayer interaction.

15 imagesMirage was licensed for the U.S. Department of State’s SuperMuseum: America. Developed with Company E, the experience combined interactive environments and captured performances and was presented at Middle East Film and Comic Con in Abu Dhabi in February 2024.
The deployment, photographs & public coverageWe are developing two playback routes for spatial content. The WebGPU route brings rendering onto the viewer’s GPU in a compatible browser. The Vision Pro route uses a dedicated native player.
Our browser development uses WebGPU to access GPU rendering directly. The focus is interactive spatial playback on NVIDIA-equipped systems, with work on scene representation, memory use and rendering performance.
In development · Distinct from the earlier cloud-streamed deployment
7 imagesVision Pro development builds on our experiments with stereo video, layered-depth imagery and Gaussian-splat rendering. We are working on how spatial media is decoded, reconstructed and presented inside the headset.
Prototype demonstrated · Further development underwayA depth map, the camera that produced the image and the playback renderer must describe the same space. Our research examines projection, depth alignment, colour and camera transforms across that path.
