Portal Imprints


Look up Imprint ID:

Portal Imprints are specially captured images depicting a positive energy-lifting moment or idea detected along a Cache Line in the CLD. These visuals may appear as photographic scenes or graphic imagery which have inspired or continue to inspire success and positivity; such as a manifested memory or a dreamlike vision.

Portal imagery isn’t directly visible to the naked eye, but only through Observation Portals - equipment and lenses designed by CLHQ to project and convert a scene from the CLD and imprint it onto a tangible material. The Imprints are created with a special infusion process that takes the projected imagery, burning it into the disc material, like an image to photographic film. Given the nature of this infusion process and material, each disc may have a uniqueness to it as the projection interacts with the material fibres. In effect, no two imprint discs are visibly identical, despite displaying the same imagery.

Each portal image is identified by a special code, branded on the disc’s rear face. Similar to Pathtags, these disc tokens are collectible memorabilia, are trackable, and soon to be collectible at CLHQ.


Types of Portal Imprints

CLHQ's labs have created a series of methods to record imagery detected from the moment energy pulses are detected on Cache Lines, or energy 'spikes'. Research continues, but to date there are four prototype Observation Portal technologies:

Visual Imprint

Example: PI0946
An Observation Portal is able to detect and translate energy from a pulse and convert it to what one might see at the location the energy spike occurred. This imagery is believed to be the visual scene one might observe at the height of the pulse.

Insta-Imprint

Example: PI0220
A special Portal frame and template may be distributed ready to be activated on a future schedule. Once activated, the frame has one opportunity to attempt to infuse a depiction of the energy detected at the height of the nearest energy spike. Another way to think of it is like exposing undeveloped film to a specific spontaneous source of light. In this case however, a transdimensional glow. Insta-Imprints may most commonly be available at events where there is an significant increase in CLD energy.

Inspired Imprint

Example: PI0819
The Inspired Imprint is less a visual recording as it is an illustration of a feeling, the inspiration that caused an energy spike in the subject's Cache Line. This imagery may end up depicting a logo, a drawing, a name, a phrase, etc.

Tracker Imprint

Example: PI0663
The Portal Imprint Tracker is infused with a proprietary traceable transdimensional substance. Each trackable imprint continues to send CLD data back to the CLHQ mainframe as it travels from location to location. The Portal Tracker is first coupled to its source Cache Line and bound to a visual of choice, from which additional trackable Imprints are replicated for distribution.

Each individual Portal Imprint can then be tracked with its own unique code, trackable at geocaching.com/track. Each Imprint Tracker sharing the same visual combines its tracking mileage statistics under the shared Portal Tracker. This way, the Portal Tracker can analyze data from all of its Imprints' travels.

Oddity

Example: PINULL
This Portal Imprint is a sort of 'catch all' category. Occasionally an Observation Portal may produce an unexpected result. Until sufficient instances of such oddities occur, they will simply be categorized as an outlier, an oddity, an occurrence worthy of further research.


Collectibles

Portal Imprints may theoretically be found anywhere. Finding one may be a very rare treat, so it's perfectly reasonable and encouraged to obtain, collect, even trade them. With the exception of Tracker Imprints which may have been set loose into the world to travel and inspire adventure!

Coming soon you will be able to collect, document, and track your tokens with a personalized profile on this website. Stay tuned!
