9. The Inception
In 1997, we started writing a piece of computer program just to
convert computer artwork into graph for hand knotting.

10. The Journey
For more than 2 decades, we have been pushing the
boundaries of what can be done through technology in the
world of rugs. We have transformed the way custom carpets
are designed, manufactured, and marketed.

11. The Mission
Our mission is to enhance the design, production, and
marketing capabilities of custom rug makers for facilitating a
cost-effective and sustainable carpet industry.

12. The Alternative Way:
Concept to Creation
Create a design from a concept, or from an inspiring artwork or
photograph. Experiment with size, shape, color, material, and motifs to
create your own unique rug design.
It’s easy, it’s quick, and it’s fun!

14. The Technologies
Behind The Transformation

15. Photorealistic Rendering
Visualize the end-product with different materials,
weavings (wool, silk, loop, and custom texture),
and finishing options (high and low pile, carving)
before the carpet is actually woven with our
photorealistic rendering technology.
The resemblance of the computer-generated
image to your end-product will bewilder you.
A good image needed to showcase the technology.

16. Augmented Rug Projection
Imagine a space in your showroom where your rug
designs are shown in real-life size, with colors
matched precisely to your poms. Imagine being
able to feel the rug - without having to produce
them.
Our Augmented Rug Projection (ARP) technology
allows you to do just that.
A good image needed to showcase the technology.

17. Material Estimation
Our material estimation technology can accurately
predict the consumption of the raw material in
each carpet design, thus allowing easy cost
estimation of carpets even before they are made
and also, minimizing wastage due to repeated
dyeing.
Achieve unparalleled transparency on the size,
weight, quality, and cost of your carpets.
A good image needed to showcase the technology.

18. Instant View in Room
With our technology, custom carpets can be
automatically laid in any pre-processed room sets
just at a click of the mouse. This means that the
best rug pattern and color combination for the
given room can be selected.

Reinventing Success Through Transforming Ideas and Innovation
Our Profile
Alternative Technology is a truly global company
focused on computer graphics innovation for custom
carpets. Our solution for custom carpets has significantly
empowered the industry and has transformed the way
carpets are designed, produced, and marketed.
Our Virtual Carpet Software Suite is one of the very
few global standards for designing and illustrating rugs
to clients, and exchanging carpet data between the
manufacturer and the buyer.The topmost companies
dealing with custom rugs worldwide, as well as leading
rug producers in Nepal use our software.

38. Our Philosophy: Pushing the Boundaries
Two decades ago, we first started writing a piece of a computer program just
to convert computer artwork into a graph for hand knotting.
Suddenly, a process that took days, sometimes weeks, could be done in
minutes. But, apart from time and cost-saving, it was more about precision,
about converting any digital artwork into a beautiful piece of hand-crafted art
out of the loom. Although it was difficult to convince people at first about the
usefulness of our software, it gives us great satisfaction to see custom rugs
being transformed through our solutions today.
We are happy that we are pushing the boundaries of what can be done
through technology in the world of rugs. For us at Alternative Technology, it is
much more than just business, it is a mission. And this whole journey has been
so refreshing, so educating, full of excitement and challenges, and so
beautiful and meaningful. We are indebted to the entire industry for their
overwhelming support in terms of their innovative usage and trust in our
technology, and their word of mouth in appreciation of our effective solutions
and prompt services.
