Museum Digitization: How the LWL Open-Air Museum in Detmold Uses Immersive Tech to Open Restricted Spaces

Immersive tech is reshaping heritage access. At the LWL Open-Air Museum Detmold, historic buildings are often off-limits to protect them. To solve this, a student team used XGRIDS's Lixel Kity K1 & PortalCam to create a navigable, photorealistic 3D twin of the entire 90-hectare site in days. Visitors can now explore every corner on a 4-meter touchscreen, gaining a holistic understanding before setting foot outside. This "capture once, deploy everywhere" model—extending to VR and web—proves that cutting-edge spatial computing can make fragile history universally accessible without compromise. Thanks for Prof. Dr. Alexander Kutter, LWL-Freilichtmuseum Detmold and Volinga help.

Chasing Dragons in Iceland - How Mobile Virtual Production Conquered the Impossible

When Compositing Academy's founder Alex Henneman decided to film a CGI dragon in a remote Icelandic cave, the project required a complete rethinking of virtual production workflows. Using an iPhone, Sony FX3, and cutting-edge spatial capture technology from XGRIDS, the team achieved cinematic-quality VFX in an uncontrolled environment while facing multiple logistical challenges including conflicting film shoots and delayed schedules due to equipment failures.
