Synthescape is a new media developer, focussed on digitizing collections and exhibitions for museums, galleries, universities and colleges. We are particularly skillful at 3-dimensional imaging of both panoramic and object images. We have been active in the cultural sector for 10 years, primarily in Canada, but are now expanding internationally. This is primarily due to the strength of the panoramic and object imaging technology we have developed, which is unequalled in its image quality, level of detail, and overall quality of user experience. We are excited by this opportunity to meet with delegates of the Visual Resources Association, and hope to work in collaboration with its members in the future. Furthermore, we believe we are qualified to provide visual resources to your institutions that will be effective and exciting for its audiences of students and educators, researchers and the general public alike.
