Ziov Tech

Software that gives screens depth and languages a memory

We build three things: a player that puts any film into 3D while it plays, a converter that gives a film real depth on disk, and a forest pet that teaches you Irish. All of them run on your own machine.

What we do

We build the hard part

The depth model is the easy half. The other half is making it feel right on the screen you are actually looking at, and making it work on the machine you actually own.

That is where we spend our time: on the geometry, the comfort, the colour pipeline and the installer. It is unglamorous work, and it is the difference between a demo and a product.

Depth and stereoscopy

Depth models, disparity warping and stereo comfort work built for real screens - monitors, projectors, 3D TVs and headsets.

Playback engineering

libmpv, GPU compositing, colour management and HDR tone mapping, handled so that the picture is the film and not the player.

Language learning

Speech, a real dictionary and play, built around a companion worth returning to rather than a course to finish.

Desktop and web apps

Windows software with an offline installer, and web apps that install themselves and keep working offline.

How we build

Four rules we do not bend

Measure, never invent

A depth map is measured from the picture and the picture is warped. Nothing is generated, so the two eyes always agree.

Your machine, your data

No telemetry, no history, no upload. If it needs an account to work, we have not finished it.

Fast enough to be worth using

Quality steps up and down with the speed of your hardware, so the picture stays smooth instead of stalling.

Plain words, real logs

Every control says what it does and every tool reports what it found. If it cannot be read, it is not finished.

Working together

How a project runs

You describe the problem

What you are trying to watch, teach or ship - and what is in the way right now.

We show you the working part

Usually within a few days, running on your machine, not a slide about running on your machine.

We build it properly

Offline installer, real error messages, no telemetry, and a licence that says what you may do.

You keep it

Everything runs locally and forever. There is nothing to cancel and no one to ring.

Want one of these on your own screen?

Ziovs 3D Player and Ziovs 2Dto3D are one-off purchases on itch.io, and Cara is free to play. All of them run entirely on your own machine, and none of them keeps anything about you.
