Exhibition

Experience how cutting-edge technology transforms a historic Swiss masterpiece.

Visit us at Pier 17 this Fall to explore the Terapixel Panorama Exhibition by Prof. Sarah Kenderdine and her team, the winners of the 2024 SFNS Agora Award.

On display at Swissnex in San Francisco until December 12, 2025, the exhibition lets you experience how cutting-edge technology transforms a historic Swiss masterpiece into an unprecedented immersive digital installation featuring the largest digital image of a single object ever made—a 1.6-trillion-pixel digital twin of the 1893/94 Panorama of the Battle of Murten.

The exhibition combines high-resolution imaging, immersive visualization, and humanistic research, pioneering the use of high-fidelity 3D scanning, 4D volumetric video, fully dynamic spatialized soundscapes, and the first-ever real-time olfactory augmentation in cultural heritage. It reinterprets a pivotal moment in Swiss history while reimagining the 19th-century panorama format for contemporary audiences.

This exhibition is part of Layers, an event series by Swissnex in San Francisco to uncover the human stories behind scientific discovery.
