His patented product consists of a software (Dreamworlds Design Studio), which allows you to assemble individual mural designs using a large selection of cut-out images. Prior to starting a design you enter the dimensions of your walls into the software to create a workspace reflecting your homes wall. The designs are later printed on a single high quality canvas and then attached to your walls in a similar procedure as wall paper. Frescographies take only a few hours to design on the computer, and are produced and delivered within 2 weeks in most cases. Retailers advertise that the products art by Rainer Maria Latzke is as close as it can get to perfect especially as the images can be used over and over again. It is currently being sold by over 300 franchaisees in Europe. The frescographies can currently be seen in public buildings such as the Vienna Rathaus (Viennas Town Hall) or the worlds largest sail boat the Royal Clipper.
