What we build

     Technical execution in service of experiential depth.

      Rather than treating these fields as isolated practices,      we approach them as a connected system. Moving fluidly      between digital environments, physical spaces, and      hybrid experiences.    

What the department
does

01.

Game Design

Custom interactive environments built in Unreal Engine and Unity. Gamified training simulations, experimental interactive narratives, and purpose-built game mechanics.

02.

Virtual Production

Narrative-driven 3D sequences, photo-realistic environments, and previsualization. Physically based and real-time rendering pipelines for high visual fidelity.

03.

High-Tech Screens

Access to high-specification LED wall systems and large-format display infrastructure. Cinematic-grade visuals for live events, activations, and permanent installations.

04.

Projection Mapping

Architectural and object surfaces transformed into responsive visual environments. Built in MadMapper and TouchDesigner for real-time adaptability and live performance.

05.

Installations

Physical-digital hybrid environments. Audio-reactive systems, generative media, and lighting design that builds spaces which respond, adapt, and evolve.

06.

Immersive & XR

VR, AR, and extended reality experiences. Spatial computing applications, holographic presence technology, and live spectator immersion systems.

The studio behind it

      grain.    

      A creative collective rooted in storytelling, culture, and      innovation. We collaborate with cultural institutions, brands,      and artists to craft meaningful narratives through immersive      media and game design.
