Human Within

Real-World Spatial Capture for Apple Vision Pro

Human Within is an immersive experience built for Apple Vision Pro… spatial computing rather than a flat screen, which changes what ’good enough’ scan data actually means. Geometry approximations that nobody would notice on a monitor become obvious the moment you’re standing inside them.

We scanned the real-world environments and subjects the experience is built from, using structured-light scanning for close subjects and terrestrial LiDAR for the surrounding environments… different tools for different spatial scales, because a face and a room don’t need the same capture approach. The resulting point clouds and meshes were processed and optimised for real-time rendering on-device, balancing geometric detail against what Vision Pro can actually render at frame rate.

This is essentially the same scanning discipline we’ve built up on film sets for years, applied to a medium where the audience isn’t watching from a seat… they’re standing in the space. We think that’s where a lot of professional 3D capture work is heading next, and we’d rather be early to it than catching up later.

If you’re building for spatial computing and need scan data that holds up under real-time scrutiny rather than a fixed camera angle, this is exactly the kind of brief we’re set up for.
