Web and mobile
Tapestry turns your site, exhibition, or landscape into a guided 3D experience that audiences can explore from anywhere. Starting with a high-quality 3D representation that preserves the scale, surfaces, and detail of the real place, we build a narrative journey through it.
As visitors move through the experience, narration, local voices, expert perspectives, photographs, video, maps, and archival materials bring the story into focus. The result is more than a 3D model: it is an immersive, interpretive experience woven from five layers, including a photoreal 3D canvas, a structured narrative, human voices, rich media, and interactive moments.
It all runs in a web browser with nothing to download or install, so visitors can explore on a phone, tablet, or computer, wherever they are. And Tapestry works for stories at every scale, from expansive landscapes and archaeological sites to historic homes, museum exhibitions, and individual objects.
For Partners
Share your place with anyone with an internet connection, whether they are at home, in a classroom, at your visitor center, or across the world. Tapestry extends your reach far beyond the constraints of in-person visitation.
A vivid online experience sparks curiosity rather than replacing a visit. In our evaluations, 83% of Tapestry users expressed increased interest in visiting the real place.
Give teachers a ready-made virtual field trip that can be used before a visit, after one, or as a standalone classroom experience, bringing history and culture to life for students anywhere.
Surface the photographs, documents, and recordings in your collection, and let visitors explore them in context, connected to the places and stories they belong to.
Engage communities connected to a place as partners in telling its story. Tapestry provides a digital space to share multiple perspectives and amplify underrepresented history.
How We Work
Tapestry is built with you, not handed off to you. We guide the process from first idea to launch, with your team involved where your knowledge, priorities, and review matter most:
We begin by aligning on your audience, your interpretive goals, and the scope of the project.
Together we choose the themes, locations, voices, and source material at the heart of the experience, mapping the narrative onto the physical layout of the site.
CyArk's field teams document your site in 3D using LiDAR and photogrammetry, and record the interviews, narration, and media the story needs.
We build the experience, weaving the 3D model, scenes, voices, media, and interactive moments together into a single guided journey.
Your team reviews everything and helps us get the accuracy, tone, and interpretation right through an iterative, collaborative process.
We host, share, and embed the finished experience wherever your audience will find it. After launch, partners receive regular reports on visitation and engagement.
Platform
Tapestry runs in the cloud. No servers to run, no software to maintain, and no technical overhead for your team. Just your story, ready to share.
Built to support accessibility standards, including WCAG and Section 508. From screen reader compatibility to high contrast mode, we are striving to ensure that all users can engage with these places and their stories.
Offer the experience in more than one language to reach a wider audience. All components of a Tapestry, including the user interface and narration, can be produced and accessed in an alternate language.
See how visitors find, move through, and engage with your experience, with reporting that helps you understand your audience and demonstrate impact.
Point visitors toward a donation, a visit, a newsletter, or related content, right from within the experience.
Embed Tapestry seamlessly into your existing website with one link that works on any modern browser, and decide how the experience looks: public, private, embedded, or fully white-labeled.
