The team behind it
♛
The team behind it ♛
Since starting in 2016 we’ve created and collaborated on award winning VR experiences, captured ambitious photogrammetry scans, built powerful tools & pipelines and published a 3D jigsaw puzzle VR game called Puzzling Places.
We are around 10 team members, most but not all working out of our office in Berlin and happiest when we are learning and growing both as individuals and as a team while making things we enjoy.
