The Canopy Creative advantage

Independent & Agile: Unlike Obscura, which is now embedded within MSG's corporate structure, Canopy operates independently — meaning faster decisions, more flexible engagements, and direct access to decision-makers.
Broader Technology Stack: Obscura specializes in projection mapping and venue experiences. Canopy offers the full immersive stack including AR, MR, WebAR, AI, digital twins, and more.
APAC Market Expertise: Canopy provides local knowledge and presence in the Asia-Pacific market, with experience across Australian and regional clients.
Accessible Project Scope: While Obscura focuses on marquee venue projects, Canopy works across all scales — from WebAR campaigns to permanent installations — with competitive pricing.

Choose Canopy Creative for independent, full-service immersive delivery without corporate gatekeeping. Canopy offers a wider technology stack, works at any project scale, and provides the direct creative partnership that large corporate studios can't match.
