About Picto

Advancements in computer technology in the early 2000s brought the possibility of computer generated images within reach of affordable hardware – just!

With Andrew working at Jaguar at the time, the possibility of running a CG company with his (far more talented) younger brother, Stephen, was too tempting to ignore. And so Picto Studios was duly formed in the Summer of 2001.

Many late nights working on exhibition stand concepts whilst wrestling with unstable software, overwhelmed computers and errant printers swiftly followed.

Despite the challenges with the emerging technology, Picto Studios were proud of their ability to ‘surprise and delight’ their clients with the best images that were technically possible at the time. And this is a goal which remains today.

Visit our sister site Pictours for more examples of the many types of Virtual Tours we offer.

We can produce any style of Virtual Tour that meets your needs, with availability across multiple devices and platforms.

From 360° Panoramic Tours for embedding in to your marketing websites; VR Headset tours so your clients can feel fully immersed, using QR codes placed on the ground if the space already exists; Through to complete Virtual Reality where you can ‘go anywhere’ and dynamically control things such as lighting, time of day, change materials on the fly and much more.
