Keep the character.
We choose a specific viewpoint and a quiet capture window together. The first edition can be one exceptional seat, without opening up an entire property.
Real places. Spatial presence.
Some places change how it feels to be there.
We’re creating a new way to return to them.
A different kind of collection
A quiet hotel library. A room above the trees. A favorite corner, half a world away.
You Are Here is developing a collection of real places, captured with permission through photography, spatial reconstruction and location sound.
The ambition is simple: make a remarkable place part of someone’s everyday life—and share the value with the people who care for it.
One place, two ways to return
A photographic setting for the working day.
A deeper spatial visit for a change of pace.
A licensed panorama, imported into My Environments on visionOS 27, can surround your everyday apps. We’re testing the complete setup, with separately played location ambience.
This is a photographic companion. The custom spatial reconstruction is a separate experience.
The optional sound sketch is synthesized in your browser. The planned editions will use recordings from the actual place.
For people who care for a place
We’re looking for thoughtful hotels, retreats, cafés and cultural spaces to explore a founding edition with us.

Agree the areas, stories, attribution and review process before production. Publish only within the rights and scope we establish together.
Explore a defined share of edition receipts or a commissioned production. Commercial terms, deliverables and reporting are agreed individually.
From a real place to a returnable one
Photography brings the detail.
Reconstruction brings depth. Sound brings life.
A place with atmosphere, a clear point of view and a reason to return.
Careful photography, overlapping spatial coverage and a separate field recording.
Reconstruct, refine and test for detail, comfort and the way it feels in a headset.
An approved edition, a clear connection to its real place and agreed participation.
A few practical things
We’re developing the first edition and exploring founding partnerships. This website presents the concept; its imagery and sound sketch are illustrative. There are no published venue editions or announced venue partners yet.
Our proposed Focus format uses a panorama imported into Apple’s My Environments on visionOS 27, where ordinary apps can remain visible. The exact file delivery and separate ambience workflow still need hardware validation. A deeper, app-owned immersive Visit is a separate experience and does not promise unrestricted multitasking.
Apple’s guide to Environments ↗A conversation with the right decision-maker, permission for an agreed area, a quiet capture period and a review of the proposed edition. We establish the relevant property, brand, artwork, music and people-related permissions before release.
A founding edition could use a clearly defined share of receipts, a commissioned production fee, or a separately agreed hosted shoot. We agree scope, rights, costs, approvals, reporting and customer access in writing. We do not promise a particular sales volume or financial return.
You Are Here is a new spatial publishing concept by Blaine Reylek at Lumany LLC, bringing together photography, software and a curiosity about the places people choose to be.

We’ll start with one place, one viewpoint and a thoughtful scope.
