◉ TOOLKIT FOR CONSERVATION GROUPS—EST. 2023 · BC SOCIETY—2 PUBLIC RECORDS · BC COAST

Bring your forestinto every room you can't fit it in.

Emergent Layer is a field-and-software toolkit for the groups defending old growth. We scan your grove at research fidelity — then turn the data into immersive rooms, share-ready content, and browser-based records that make the measured forest accessible.

INSTALLATIONS

We build the room.

VR walkthroughs (Quest 3 / Vision Pro), full-dome projection, and pop-up immersive rooms designed for hearings, town halls, technical briefings, and gallery shows. We ship the rigs, train your team, and travel with you on tour.

THE ATLAS · LIVE VIEWER

Every capture, walkable in your browser.

Our public atlas now focuses on LiDAR point clouds: measured forest geometry, field calibration context, and browser-accessible viewers for blocks at risk.

DISPATCH NO. 12 · APR 2026

Elphinstone Old Growth: a 900-year cedar, archived for provincial record.

A six-day terrestrial LiDAR capture produced 2.4 billion georeferenced points across the Elphinstone record. The resulting point cloud preserves measurable stem, terrain, and stand structure in a browser-accessible archive, with methods and source context published alongside the scan.

WALLCOVERING · ARTIST COLLABORATION

Our collaboration with Rollout brings the LIDAR Wizard collection into architectural interiors: four large-scale mural patterns shaped by imagery from a Sunshine Coast old-growth ecosystem and our scan-informed visual practice.

Have a forest, and an audience who needs to walk it?

Tell us where the forest is, what threatens it, and what evidence is needed. We scope each request around field access, capture conditions, analysis, and the clearest public record we can produce.
