Photoreal 3D for heritage.Bring people closer to the real thing.
Film an object for about three minutes on a phone. Around an hour later it is a photoreal 3D twin, reconstructed with UG3D® Gaussian splatting, that anyone can turn, zoom into and place in their own room.

Who it's for
For museums, archives, libraries and galleries.
Curators, archivists and digital teams use Voxelo to put objects online in the round, and to do it at collection scale rather than one showpiece at a time.
Museums
Objects in the round, and in the room
Embed twins on collection pages and gallery touchscreens, and let visitors place an object at true scale with AR.
Collections, object data, an API and terms for programmes at scale. Museums, universities and archives can ask about academic and collection-scale terms.
IGC Fashion is a creative social enterprise in Kampala. Its pieces use Lubugo, barkcloth from the inner bark of the Mutuba tree, harvested without harming the tree, and they walked at Manchester Fashion Week 2026. Each was filmed on a phone in the studio and came back as a photoreal twin in around an hour.
“Voxelo is state of the art new software for 3D imaging. Working from Uganda, it has been game changing for our audience / customers digital experience of our clothing. It will undoubtedly support our growth and sales online. We are so grateful to the team behind this product. So helpful and communicative and supportive!”
Every twin is reconstructed from video of the actual object, not imagined by an AI model. What people turn on screen is the surface that sat in front of the camera, including the details meshes tend to break on.

Capture
Three ways to capture a collection.
Hands-on time is 6-10 minutes per object, including set-up, with around three minutes of filming. Pick the method that suits the object, not the other way round.
01 · Large objects
360° walkaround
The object stays where it is, on its plinth, mannequin or stand. Walk slowly round it in loops at different heights.
Phone · Optional studio lights · About 4m² of space
02 · Costume and textiles
Turntable
The object turns, the phone stays put. Ideal for garments on a mannequin or stand.
Phone · Turntable · Mannequin or stand · Optional lights · About 4m²
03 · Small objects
Lightbox
Even, controlled light for ceramics, fossils and carved pieces, on a turntable inside the box.

Hotspots pin notes to the garment itself, so the twin doubles as an object tour that a student, a researcher or a visitor can open anywhere.

Voxelo’s capture of an archival Off-White dress for our UKRI-funded Living Archives project demonstrated how 3D Gaussian splatting can offer cultural institutions, galleries and independent fashion businesses an accessible way into high-fidelity 3D capture.What excited us most about this technology is that it provides a way to preserve the rich visual identity of collections for future generations and to tell the stories behind individual garments, from the provenance of the materials to how they were made, and most importantly to the cultural moments they were part of.

Voxelo’s technology opens up exciting possibilities for how we digitally archive and experience fashion. Rather than simply viewing a garment, we can now access the story behind it in seconds, connecting the designer’s vision with material provenance, construction and craftsmanship.The potential to make these stories more immediate, interactive and accessible could completely reshape how fashion archives are experienced

One capture
One twin. Every output.
When the twin is captured from a simple video, access and discovery can scale with the collection.
Web
Embeddable, interactive 3D
Drop a twin into a collections page, a CMS or a learning platform with one snippet. Fast on any connection.
Voxelo reads the twin and suggests descriptive metadata for curators to review: materials, construction, styling and details. It is available through the API and as JSON-LD, so people, search engines and AI agents can find and understand each object. The beta is open for testing.

“Local to our team, we've worked with Voxelo as a creative tech partner over the past 2 years. Using their platform to deliver 3D digital twins for our own clients via the web. Ben, Vlad and Roman are quick, clear and easy to work with, and the system itself has genuinely sped up our production. What used to be a slow, fiddly process now turns around fast and looks slick. Would recommend them to any studio doing similar work.”

How long does it take to digitise an object in 3D?
Around 6-10 minutes hands-on per object, including set-up, with about three minutes of filming. Processing then takes around an hour in the cloud, and the twin is ready to publish.
Does the object need to leave the gallery or the store?
No. With a 360° walkaround the object stays where it is, and you need a phone, optional lights and about 4m² of space. Garments can go on a turntable, and small objects into a lightbox.
What is Gaussian splatting, and why use it for heritage?
3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) represents an object as millions of small coloured points rather than a mesh with textures. It holds the fine, soft and worn surfaces that matter in collections, such as textile weave, patina and weathered stone, which meshes tend to flatten.
Is the 3D twin generated by AI?
No. UG3D® reconstructs the actual object from your video. AI suggests descriptive metadata for your curators to review, but the twin itself is captured, not generated.
Which objects capture best?
Textured, matte and worn surfaces: carved stone, bronze patina, textile weave, wood and fossil. Mirror-like and transparent surfaces, such as chrome and glass, are harder for any photographic method, and we will say so before you start.
Can we host 3D scans and splats we already have?
Yes. Host up to 100 Gaussian splats free, made in any pipeline, each with a browser viewer, a share link and place-in-space AR. See free 3DGS hosting.
What can we export, and how big are the files?
Twins export as PLY or SOG, and can be published to SuperSplat. Voxelo twins come out between 4 and 17MB, light enough to embed on any page.
How much does it cost for a museum or archive?
Self-serve plans start with a free account, and the API is available from Basic upwards. Museums, universities and archives can ask about academic and collection-scale terms: see pricing or book a demo.
