Franchise
Building the future of immersive architecture
Franchise studios unlock a new category of architectural visualization—one where clients can physically walk through full-scale virtual spaces without interruption, compromise, or loss of immersion.
The most powerful immersive experiences don’t just require great software—they require the right physical environment. Franchise locations provide controlled, open space so users can walk freely through a design the way it was intended to be experienced.
The problem
The limits of at-home immersion
Most VR experiences are designed around safety boundaries. That works for entertainment—but it breaks down when the goal is true-to-life architectural understanding.
Most applications restrict users to a small physical area. Some allow movement by fading the scene or switching to pass-through visuals. Others preserve immersion but keep users inside a tight boundary.
For architectural visualization, these workarounds interrupt the experience at the exact moment clarity is needed—when someone is evaluating scale, flow, and spatial relationships.
Why it matters
Architecture is meant to be walked through
Architecture is spatial, not static. The most important design decisions happen when people can move through a space and feel it at real scale.
When immersion breaks, decision-making becomes conceptual. Scale turns abstract. Flow gets lost. What should feel intuitive becomes a guess.
We believe architectural visualization deserves full continuity— not interruptions.
The solution
Purpose-built franchise studios
Franchise studios provide open, controlled environments where users can physically walk through full-scale virtual rooms—without visual interruptions or safety compromises.
This model unlocks the full potential of immersive visualization today—without waiting for hardware to perfectly understand every obstacle in every environment.

How it scales
From studio to job site
Franchise partners don’t just host sessions—they deliver immersive experiences wherever decisions are being made.
With proper training, franchise owners can deploy immersive walkthroughs on job sites, in showrooms, or directly with clients—bringing the experience to people who may not own or operate a headset themselves.
This is what turns a franchise location into a platform: a repeatable service model that expands beyond the studio walls.
The opportunity
Defining a new industry
Franchise studios sit at the intersection of architecture, technology, and experiential design—creating a category that doesn’t exist yet at scale.
This isn’t simply VR. It isn’t traditional visualization. It’s a new way to communicate space—so clients can experience what’s being designed before it’s built.
We see franchise locations as gateways to the future of spatial decision-making.
Requirements
What a franchise location needs
A purpose-built space, reliable hardware, and a territory where immersive walkthroughs solve real problems for clients.
- Space: ~900–1,200 sq ft open-plan area (e.g., 30'×30' clear floor) plus a small reception/gear zone.
- Headsets: 2–4 Meta Quest units with charged backups, casting/recording setup, and a secure device management routine.
- Geography: Initial availability prioritized for major U.S. metros and fast-growing secondary markets; international expansion to follow.
The opportunity
What it costs to run — and the demand it unlocks
A lean operating model paired with high-impact sessions that convert to design, construction, and real-estate decisions.
Operating costs stay concentrated in rent for open space, a small hardware stack, and part-time staffing for session setup and client coaching.
Revenue comes from session fees, packaged walkthrough programs for architects and builders, and follow-on services (file prep, artist network upsells, travel/on-site pop-ups).
- Typical monthly cost drivers: lease + utilities, headset rotation/maintenance, insurance, light marketing.
- Session economics: premium, scheduled slots (60–90 minutes) priced to reflect full-scale immersion versus 2D/desktop previews.
- Pipeline impact: higher close rates on design decisions and pre-sales when stakeholders walk the space at true scale.
We’ll share detailed pro formas and territory demand data during the franchise review process.
Who it’s for
Franchise ownership is designed for
