Overview / Executive Summary Murals used to be the domain of trained artists with scaffolding and spray cans. Not anymore. Thanks to affordable VR goggles and a little creative tracing, you can turn anyone with decent hand-eye coordination into a commercial muralist. Businesses want bold walls without paying five figures to a fine arts grad. With this service, they can get exactly that high-impact custom murals without the custom muralist markup. It’s time to paint outside the lines, with a little help from the goggles.
Value Proposition We offer custom wall murals that look high-end but don’t require hiring an artist or waiting six weeks. Using VR mural tracing technology, we deliver fast, eye-catching, and professional mural work at a fraction of traditional cost. What makes this different: VR-assisted execution: You trace the design through a headset, no art degree required
Faster project turnaround: Murals completed in days, not weeks
Flexible pricing: Small to large format jobs with modular add-ons
More accessible: Perfect for clients who want visual impact without boutique pricing
Target Audience Ideal customers include: Restaurants, cafes, and retailers looking to stand out on the block or on Instagram
Real estate developers and leasing offices dressing up new builds or marketing suites
Event organizers needing temporary branded murals for pop-ups or activations
Homeowners who want something custom but not too precious
Ad agencies and marketers who want visual storytelling without agency markups
Their pain points: Traditional murals take too long, cost too much, and require finding a unicorn artist
Businesses don’t know how to vet or hire muralists
There’s often no middle option between “cheap print” and “gallery-level art”
Our solution: We offer a simple booking process, clear deliverables, and consistent quality backed by tech.
