Mixed reality allows, users, to navigate through the real world and the virtual environment seamlessly at the simultaneously. The virtual objects are positioned in the real world space and coordinates. Whenever a user moves towards it, the virtual objects get bigger and vice versa. And whenever a user moves around it, one can see the virtual objects from different angles and perspectives… just like real objects would behave. The experience is like viewing holograms objects.
Furthermore, in mixed reality, users are also able to manipulate the virtual objects. Users can interact with their concepts in virtual objects form as if they really existed in front of them.
Some examples of the mixed reality technology are Microsoft HoloLens, Magic Leap and Canon MREAL System. Although some say that HoloLens is under the AR (Augmented Reality) category; according to Microsoft, it should get categorised under the MR (Mixed Reality) domain. Below is the Youtube video clip showing the anticipated capabilities of HoloLens for the consumers and industrialist.
Mixed Reality is yet in its infancy. However, there are still some applications that MR may be suited for.
The cornerstone of Digital Rhombus lies on media related services because we need to design visuals in-terms of themes, UI etc. We are also required to shoot 360º videos that we convert to VR experience. Towards that, DR feature's premium in-house talents who constitute the entire media production eco-system - from concept to delivery. Though, as an organisation, we tend to focus more on VR projects; we undertake film production services from concept to delivery because we love the process.
We produce large format commercials as well as small format productions meant for telecast, cinema or on-line distribution. In the past year, we have done corporate films for clients like UPS, digital films for KFC, VFX for a series on a major international network and, also delivered 1100 mins of 2D animation pre-production work in 3 months!
Pre-Production
Pre-production forms the basis that any content takes direction from. Our team of storytellers and design artists are industry experts and have been practicing this art since over two decades. Our team plan and deliver the most “bang for the buck!”
We develop & design concepts, ideas and execute them.
Shoot
The DR team has collectively been a part of all kinds of production - film, commercials, video’s, documentaries, television shows - ALL! We now extend this service with the ability to shoot and deliver 360º VR Videos.
And if that is not enough, we also produce 360º VR multi-cam with real time graphics while streaming it all on-line to Facebook, YouTube or a private CDN point.

Experienced project managers ensure quality assurance through the process.
3D Modeling
Our 3D team delivers high-value realistic VR experience and therefore, while being creative are also quick to deliver 2D filmic output for animation, pack shots, character, etc. The primary 3D team is also supported by photoshop and after effects artists as to fulfil most project requirements.
VFX
Unlike a typical production house, we have an in-house crack-shot VFX team who are also designers in their own right. Each project is thought of and designed at a conceptual level and then executed to deliver the most convincing shots for the project.
3D Printing
We use scanners to be able to recreate environments for our VR outputs. These are very high-quality scanners meant to scan linear as well as organic objects.
Our team then works on further refining these scans and deliver the best printable objects in the market.
