What we can do for you..
Marketing, fund-raising, investment and even winning awards becomes much easier when you have the right communication tools. Luma’s Immersive 3D Architectural Environments for image production, video and mobile interactive applications, highly detailed renderings, computer generated imagery, fly-throughs, animations and client presentations make your life simpler.

Virtual Reality (VR) is moving into the mainstream quicker than many people predicted. Immersing users in a virtual environment, VR is an exceptionally effective way of educating, training, enabling remote face-to-face communication or enhancing tourist experiences. Working with clients like the V&A, Edinburgh University, Henderson Global and Visit Scotland, we have extensive experience helping businesses from a whole range of sectors achieve their goals using VR and its amazing communication benefits. We can help you do the same..

At Luma we specialize in the comprehensive development of Apps for iPad, iPhone and Android, all featuring strong 3D content. Our technical ability means we can draw on a whole host of resources to form unique models that let your target market experience exactly what you want them to.

3D data capture involves gathering information in the real world and using that information to create digital assets. Building complex data-sets from real life objects or environments allows us to create highly detailed information which is of use in many specialist fields such as, Archaeology, Historical Conservation, Architecture, Neuroscience, Human and Animal Anatomy. This data can then be integrated in visualisation software for the production of animations, real time interactive models, images and virtual experiences.

Using a tracker image that is programmed to activate a smartphone or tablet, AR enables the user to enjoy a highly personal and enhanced experience across a whole range of media such as hoardings, marketing images, brochures, business cards or highly bespoke communication tools. Simply by pointing their device at the tracker, the user enjoys access to images, video or 3D models quite literally at their fingertips. We know that AR is a great way of engaging your public.

360 video and 360 photography are commonly the first experience clients have when it comes to immersive communication. An extremely cost effective and successful way of enabling your target market to experience places without physically being there. At Luma we produce exceptionally high quality 360 degree panoramic video and photography by taking advantage of some of the market’s leading edge technologies. Get in touch to discuss how you can reach your target market with 360 technology.

on LUMA's 'Window on the Past' University of Edinburgh Old College Quad achaeology app. "I worked with a company Luma3Di to develop an app which charts the history of the site where our iconic Old College stands. The idea for this came from me chairing the project board for the landscaping of the quad and the amazing archaeology that was uncovered. I wanted to share this in an accessible way and Luma had just the right technology."
Senior Vice Principal (External Engagement), The University of Edinburgh“The 3D app is an astonishing piece of technology that unveils how Dundee Waterfront will look in the future. We are expecting a surge in Tourism and visitor numbers as the waterfront develops, so the app will allow prospective visitors or investors a chance to virtually viist and explore Dundee Waterfront now."
