Perceptoscope is a mission-driven brand that connects people to places through the power of technology. They believe that despite living in a digitally connected world, we have lost the immediate connection to our surroundings. To address this, Perceptoscope has developed a unique and innovative approach.

Perceptoscope is a blend of a technology lab and a public media arts experiment, operating on open source principles. They collaborate with place-based organizations to share stories with communities and beyond, primarily by deploying Perceptoscopes. These devices are similar in structure to the coin-operated binoculars we're all familiar with, but with a twist.

The Perceptoscope utilizes optical stereoscopic mixed reality, allowing users to view their surroundings in stereoscopic 3D while seamlessly adding digital content such as text, video, animations, and visual effects. It offers a full field of view, covering the entire outside world without the limitations of traditional wearables. Moreover, the Perceptoscope features kinetic sensor technology, offering high-resolution absolute positioning without the need for computer vision.

These devices are web-enabled, enabling dynamic content retrieval from the internet through optional 4G and wifi connectivity. Perceptoscopes also allow for remote management of all devices in the field. Additionally, Perceptoscopes boast 3D snapshot capabilities, allowing users to capture and share memories of a place.

Perceptoscope's technology stack is built on cutting-edge open source web technologies, providing a seamless experience that extends to the web and neighboring mobile devices. Perceptoscope is made possible with support from the National Science Foundation and the Knight Prototype Fund. They also have strong ties to the Creative Community Fellowship.
