Hi.Stories consulting always starts from your needs: we visit the site and talk with staff to understand your requirements and objectives. Together, we define the most suitable digital solutions and how to make them sustainable over time, designing tailor-made projects that respect the identity of each place.
We mainly work with public administrations and organisations that manage museums and cultural sites, both public and private. The solutions we offer can also be applied to design prototyping, architectural models and immersive installations for cultural events.
The cost of 3D printing depends on the print volume and the amount of post-production required.
Our 3D printers can produce objects up to approximately 15 × 15 cm in a single block. For larger formats, the model is divided into sections that are later assembled. There is no real minimum size: we can also print very small objects, just a few centimetres in size.
3D printing materials are typically single-colour, but our handcrafted post-production process faithfully recreates the colours and textures of the artefact or monument. Complex figurative decorations, such as red-figure or black-figure motifs on vases, are painted by hand on request.
Yes. We create 3D models optimised for different purposes: print-ready files for 3D printing, and models designed for navigable virtual environments or augmented reality experiences. Depending on the project, the models are prepared with the appropriate technical specifications to ensure optimal performance on VR headsets, AR applications and immersive web platforms.
Yes. We can either develop the visual identity of a museum or cultural site from scratch (logo, colour palette, typefaces, exhibition panels, signage, promotional materials, website), or work on existing layouts and communication through rebranding. In both cases, our work always starts from an analysis of the place, its history and its target audiences, so we can build a coordinated visual identity that is recognisable and consistent with the cultural site’s own identity.
Our team is multidisciplinary: filmmakers, photographers and copywriters with a humanities background. This means we can take care of images, video and written content for all your projects. If you already have your own materials, we can assess together how to integrate them, checking that formats and quality are suitable for the digital project. You can also request content creation only, but our core expertise lies in designing complete digital solutions, where content and technology work together to enhance cultural heritage.
The virtual tours we create are not simple 360° photos, but full remote visit experiences, accessible via web or VR headset. A 3D scan of the space generates a digital twin of the real environment, allowing users to move through the rooms in first person and enjoy a truly immersive visit. Hotspots and points of interest enrich the experience, offering context, insights and further information about each area of the site.
From the moment the environment is scanned to the delivery of the finished virtual tour, production times are relatively quick – around one month – with variations depending on any additional features requested. For 3D printing, timing depends strictly on the size of the print and the level of post-production required.
Dal momento della scansione dell’ambiente alla realizzazione del virtual tour finito, i tempi di realizzazione sono abbastanza rapidi, circa 1 mese, con variazioni legate a richieste di eventuali integrazioni da inserire. Per quanto concerne la stampa 3D, invece, i tempi sono strettamente legati alle dimensione della stampa e dalla post produzione richiesti.
We offer targeted consulting that allows us to fully understand your ideas and initial project. Together, we develop a work plan that turns your idea into a concrete, effective solution.
