A studio in Auckland, New Zealand

What you can picture, you can make.

We build tools and worlds for people who see the finished frame before anyone else does. Three things are in the works: a film studio in one chair, a 3D scene you describe into existence, and a ship you can walk through.

About

One studio, three ways of making a picture real.

Waking Dream Technology is a small studio founded by Tony Liang. Everything we build starts from the same question: how far can a person with a clear picture in their head get without a crew, a render farm, or years of training?

OneChair answers it for film. Tessera answers it for 3D. Back to Titanic is the question asked of a real place and a real night.
