Virtual Photography / 3D Visualization

caseStudy-owlLabstop content mobile

We went from 'let’s try this out' with virtual photography, to it becoming a staple part of how we launch a new product. We get overwhelmingly positive feedback from our sales team, about how the renders help customers visualize the products in the space, and we see that these assets perform better in advertising and help drive traffic.

The power of virtual photography

3D product photography offers total creative freedom and a limitless curation of styles, lighting, furniture, and overall vibes not possible with traditional photography. It removes the burden of time-consuming and expensive physical staging, replacing it with a swift, highly collaborative, and exciting creation process.

It also allows for creative re-use of 3D assets and 3D scenes, reimagining and leveraging existing assets into new and exciting product shots. We can produce a strong product story in a nimble way, focusing on the detail that takes these shots from great to outstanding.

Our Process

Making magic happen

The Owl Labs brand is energetic, playful, and colorful. In collaboration with their creative team, we designed conference rooms to perfectly capture this aesthetic, telling their brand and product story in a captivating, educational, and cost-effective way.

“With virtual photography, we achieve results that are better than reality. We create product scenes that are a bit magical, a bit aspirational, which is really on-brand with Owl Labs. It would take exponentially more time and money to create these rooms in real life – this approach removes those restrictions.”

Designing the context

Based on brand direction from Owl Labs, we designed, modeled, textured, and lit, a series of virtual conference room scenes to visualize the Owl Labs products in a variety of room layouts, including wire diagram overlays.

Highlighting tech

Owl Labs’ 360 conferencing products use unique cameras, speakers, and microphones. We created high-fidelity digital twins of their product line -- inside and out -- to emphasize this technology.
