The Sistine Chapel Immersive

Cutting-edge tech. Timeless story.

Imagine standing beneath Michelangelo’s ceiling, the pigments still wet with possibility. Now imagine walking closer—past the velvet ropes, beyond centuries of fresco dust—to watch every brush-stroke shimmer in living color. That is the promise of Sistine Chapel XR, Beggar Kings’ newest immersive experience.

What We Built

• Ultra-HD Source Capture – We began with the Vatican Museums’ gigapixel scans, preserving each millimetre of texture and light.

• Custom Unreal Engine Environment – Our artists rebuilt the chapel in photoreal 3-D, matching geometry to historical surveys so precisely that even the grout lines align.

• Apple Vision Pro Deployment – Delivered at retina resolution with spatial audio and real-time global illumination, the chapel now travels anywhere a headset can go.

Why It Matters

Great art is meant to lift the human spirit, but most of us will never reach Rome. By fusing archival fidelity with interactive storytelling, we open the doors to pilgrims, students, and dreamers everywhere. The result isn’t a museum tour—it’s a moment of wonder you can enter.
