Hardware for
playable spaces.

We kept building the same controllers for our own installations, so we turned them into products. Each one is made to measure, built in our Fabrica workshop and runs on the same realtime platform.

One platform

Different hardware. Same backbone.

Mix readers, rings and dials in one venue. They share one realtime platform, one way to configure and one way to update.

Realtime

Live over MQTT

Taps, hand data and dial turns stream to your show control the moment they happen.

Remote

Config & OTA

Change colours, behaviour and content rules remotely, and roll out firmware to the whole fleet.

Custom

Made to measure

Size, shape, finish and light are set per project, so the hardware fits your set design.

Fabrica

Built in-house

Designed by our Lab and produced in our 1,000 m² workshop, the same place we build our installations.

In the field

Already on show.

Our hardware runs in touring roadshows, brand events and permanent exhibitions.
