SkyView is the only virtual skylight with feature-length
scenes that deliver a credible illusory sky.
A Much Welcome Connection
SkyView transforms interiors with a multisensory illusion of dynamic sky events that reassures occupants with a beautiful and therapeutic focal point in isolated spaces. Its gravitationally-correct footage (perpendicular to the ground) provides the proper spatial orientation.
By introducing spatial polarity—a dramatic change of scale—in artificial interiors, SkyView brings in Prospect and Refuge (a commanding sky view from a place of comfort). Its soothing, drifting clouds and gently swaying branches provide an effective way to comfort patients undergoing stressful diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
Feature Length Scenes
Sky Factory works with unedited, single point-of-view feature-length footage of sky events within a fully designed architectural portal.
SkyView provides the essential environmental cues, including proper perspective, scale, and undistorted dynamic compositions that trigger spatial cognition, thereby generating a palpable feeling of expansion in the viewer.
Our RED Digital Cinema footage is the only proprietary UltraHD real-time content that offers dynamic overhead views of the zenith.
