xRez in Focus

Urban structures, vast landscapes, extreme locations, ingenious nature – the large scale panoramic images created by xRez Studio and the unique projection system at Deep Space synthesize the fascination of zooming deeper and deeper into unpredictable details of photography and the sublimity of panoramic views.

Many days of uninterrupted processing for a single image to be assembled allow to create spherical panoramic giga-pixel photography that fascinates viewers by “simply” recording the ambience of the earth – but in a density that goes beyond the daily sense of sight. Being lost in the details of an image also means losing the feeling of distances – which extremely recurs once the whole image is reemerging.
