Experimental spatial capture
aleatory Time Capture
Remembering Presence
Real moments, reconstructed in space. We use multiple cameras to create explorable records of people, places, and moments.
A small experimental program, beginning in Connecticut.
01 / The idea
A scene you can move through.
A spatial reconstruction combines recordings from different camera positions. You can look around the captured scene and choose your own point of view.
Interactive experiment
Move through a captured scene.
Drag to change your point of view. This experiment combines a static room reconstruction with animated captured subjects.
The scene downloads about 94 MB plus viewer code when opened. Loading and playback depend on your connection and device. Dynamic capture is still experimental, and results vary by scene.

02 / The process
How we capture.
- 01
Choose a scene
Tell us about the people, place, performance, or object you would like to capture.
- 02
Capture from many views
We arrange multiple cameras around the scene and guide a capture suited to the subject and setting.
- 03
Reconstruct the scene
The views are combined into a spatial scene using Gaussian splatting and an evolving reconstruction workflow.
- 04
Review the result
We review what the recordings support and discuss possible outputs. These may include a static scene or, where the capture supports motion, volumetric video.
Our capture application
Omnema
Omnema brings available phones together to record synchronized video from multiple angles.
We use it to collect different views of the same scene for reconstruction.
Open OmnemaConnecticut · Founding Captures
Early captures in Connecticut.
We are selecting a small number of scenes for experimental capture sessions. Sessions are free or low-cost while we develop the process. We discuss the scope and possible results individually.
- For people in or near Connecticut
- Designed individually around each scene
- Results depend on the scene and conditions
- Feedback is part of the experience
03 / Applications
Tell us about your scene.
Describe what you would like to capture and where in or near Connecticut it would take place.
Selected applicants will hear directly from the founder to discuss timing, privacy, practical limits, and what the session could produce.
