Granite Floating Spheres
A precision-crafted granite sphere floats on a thin cushion of water, allowing visitors to rotate the monumental form by hand. Every sphere can include custom etching.
Immersive Plus
A tap opens the story inside the artwork.
Any Sunscape sphere can include a custom 3D-printed Immersive Plaque mounted to its base, with an NFC tag embedded inside. Visitors simply tap the plaque with a phone to open an interactive web experience created for that artwork—no app download required.
For a constellation sphere, the physical art and its digital experience can preserve the sky above a meaningful moment, then let every visitor explore far beyond the engraved surface.

Experience
Choose a date, time, and place.
The client selects a meaningful moment and location on Earth. The night sky from that exact perspective becomes custom artwork that can be engraved on the sphere.
Find the constellations above you.
Visitors tap the NFC plaque, point their phone toward the sky, and discover where the sphere's constellations appear. They can also change the date, time, or location to explore another sky.
Share the experience or enter it in VR.
The experience link can be shared or emailed for later. At home, it can be opened on a compatible headset so the viewer can look around the complete night sky in virtual reality.
Try it: drag on desktop • rotate on touch • use Mobile AR to configure and place the fountain with a phone • use View in VR on a compatible Quest headset • select the Target icon for the free 30-second Target Challenge
Interactive 3D preview
Understand the form before fabrication.
An interactive 3D model makes dimensions easier to understand. Rotate the proposed piece, inspect it from different angles and use the preview as a shared visual reference during the design and quotation process.

Every custom project can begin with a standard visualization as part of the quotation process. For clients who want to go further, immersive 3D and mixed-reality previews can help evaluate scale, volume and placement before fabrication begins.

From a standard visual quote to an immersive site preview.
The visualization process can be kept simple or taken much further depending on the project, the number of decision-makers and how important scale and placement are to the final choice.
Why visualize a custom project?
A custom sphere fountain or sculpture can be difficult to judge from dimensions alone. A drawing may show width and height, but it does not always communicate how a large object will feel next to a building, landscape, entrance, plaza or group of people.
Visualization gives owners, architects, donors, committees and other stakeholders a common reference before fabrication begins.
What can be shown?
- Granite, stainless steel, acrylic or sculptural concepts.
- Different sizes and proportions before a final selection is made.
- Base concepts, finishes, logos, engraving, globe artwork and other custom treatments.
- Approximate placement within a proposed architectural or landscape setting.
- Intended scale and volume through immersive or mixed-reality viewing when appropriate.
A better decision before fabrication.
The purpose is practical: make the custom project easier to understand before committing to fabrication. For some projects, a standard visual quotation is enough. For larger or more site-sensitive installations, the immersive options provide an additional level of confidence.
Need a headset?
Borrow, rent, or purchase your own.
If you do not already have a compatible headset, ask within your network, use one of the rental links below in select cities, or purchase a Meta Quest 3S for ongoing access to immersive and mixed-reality previews.
Borrow a Meta Quest VR Headset
Ask your children, family, friends, or coworkers if they use a Meta Quest headset for gaming and could temporarily lend it to you for the preview.
