Giger's Universe can be visited comfortably at your home (PC/Macintosh/ TabletPC).
With the funding we put the museum the architecture and the environment in 3D- technology. The basic version includes the interactive museum tour with a lot of unseen artwork information. As an add-on the DVD contains a short film documentation about the Giger Museum. In case of overfunding the product will also be released as an app for IOS and Android TabletPC Devices. We are planning numerous additional features in the future. For hi-res visuals visit "Gallery" here on Indiegogo.

Seven years ago we met HR Giger and his wife Carmen in person. We
told him about the idea to implement his museum in Gruyeres 1:1
virtually. He was immediately enthusiastic and brought in his ideas: The
museum should be moving, intelligent and comprehensive. At that point
we had not expected, that Giger's Universe would be so
extensive! Many more meetings followed, and HR Giger led us through his
creepy museum and his private place. And guess what! Even his garden is
so crazy that this already is worth a trip! HR Giger allowed us to film
at all these places and we got insights into his working methods. He
showed us artworks that had never been released before. We are proud to
obtainded such an exclusive insight into Giger's life. It is very sad
for us that HR Giger is no longer allowed to witness this moment. We are
happy that his widow Carmen will be with us in this project.

- 3D Scanning with FARO Laser Scanner
- Texturing (photorealistic surroundings) from real museum architecture
- Mudboxing (Pixologic ZBrush / Autodesk Mudbox)
- 3D Modelling with Autodesk Maya and 3D Max
- Realtime game engine (Unity3D) authoring
- Compatible with PC/Macintosh, iOS/Android and Console
In a complex procedure we bring the architecture and each single art- and designwork to life. First we use the latest 3D-laser-scanning technology to capture all the details of the museum, the artworks and the house and garden. After that, the entire object is shot with texture photography. From these results we generate a virtual model of the entire scene in Gruyère, including the village square.
Then all 3D-objects are scanned in detail in order to obtain a picture of the exact geometrie and make detailed 3D-models. From these data, accurate spatial reproduction and interaction with the exhibits can be possible by means of 3D-modeling. The reconfiguration of the museum is based on construction of the basic architecture. So it is also possible to create new spaces.

We will use the funds to do the production of Giger’s Universe. That means to scan the museum and his environment, design the 3D interface and producing a wide range of additional content, objects and other things to make this digital monument perfect for you!
How will I get my copy of Giger’s Universe?
When we finish the the first media production for DVD, we'll send download vouchers via e-mail to everybody who backs for that – so you have a first glimpse on the project.

If we get your support, we provide Giger’s Universe on a download-Server to gave you some impressions of our work and the upcoming releases.
Can I make my own Exhibitions with your Production?
Yes! In case of Overfunding we will be able to develop a 3D community museum which gives you the opportunity to create your own Giger Exhibtion and share these with your friends our other communities.
How much will Giger’s Universe after your campaign cost?
We plan on a cost of EUR 35 per DVD, with reduced-price bundles and promotions for distributors and campaigners.

Yes. If we reach our goal of EUR 90.000,- we will make a first release of the production. If we reach EUR 1,895.000,-, we'll add a 3D community museum with special features (see stretch goals). Of course, there will be regular updates on Giger’s Universe once it is released (if necessary).
