Sky Factory SkyV™
SkyV digital cinema virtual skylights display the essence of nature's sky-events in vivid high-definition (HD) sequences. Captured with an artist's eye and using cutting-edge RED Digital Cinema technology, SkyV brings the wonder, beauty, and deep physiological relaxation of nature's events to high-end interiors.
SkyV sequences are long, fixed compositions, generally one to one-and-a-half hours each, which allow viewers to fully immerse themselves in the play and display of the sky's changes over time.
SkyV is a ceiling-mounted system of industrial-grade HD LCD screens integrated into a patent-pending, faux skylight framework. The system includes multi-channel graphics processors and specialized synchronization software to display terabytes of proprietary HD content. SkyV simulates a real skylight, presenting hours of visual content captured worldwide from beneath beautiful skies, clouds and flora.
