One week, zero sleep, 21,000 steps, and a missing backdrop—our startup’s first AR exhibition at Museum Connections Paris was nothing short of an adventure. From last-minute logistics nightmares to unexpected kindness, we learned invaluable lessons about exhibiting as a young company.

Cultural festivals have always been about connection and tradition, but how is technology reshaping these celebrations? From AR bringing Japan’s cherry blossoms to life to VR immersing global audiences in vibrant Holi colours, explore how immersive tech is adding new dimensions to age-old traditions.

When you think of museums, you might picture grand halls filled with ancient artefacts, famous paintings, and maybe even a towering dinosaur skeleton. But what if we told you that the museum experience is evolving into something far more interactive and immersive, thanks to two cutting-edge technologies: Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)?

Have you ever wondered why we love getting lost in a good story or being drawn into a beautiful painting? The truth is, our fascination with immersive experiences is nothing new—it’s something that’s been with us for thousands of years.

Have you ever wished you could travel back in time and see history come alive? With WebAR, that dream is coming true, making heritage experiences more exciting than ever! WebAR stands for Web-based Augmented Reality. Imagine this: you're at a historic site, and instead of just reading about it, your phone brings it to life!

The extended reality world is buzzing with innovation, and 2023 brought us some truly mind-blowing experiences. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or just someone looking to sprinkle a little magic into your everyday life, there’s something for everyone in the AR universe. Buckle up as we dive into some of the coolest immersive experiences of 2023.

Welcome to the future, where reality blends seamlessly with imagination, where the mundane becomes extraordinary, and where technology takes us beyond the confines of the ordinary.

What is AR? Augmented Reality is a cutting-edge technology that overlays digital information onto the real world…..

As augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies become increasingly sophisticated and accessible, tourist venues around the globe are presented with an exciting opportunity to integrate these high-tech wonders into their offerings.

Explore the groundbreaking fusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR) in transforming educational experiences at heritage sites. This article delves into how the integration of AI with AR is revolutionising the way we learn and interact with history, offering personalised, immersive journeys through time.

It's been a rollercoaster of a year, filled with heartfelt collaborations, innovative projects, and a sprinkle of wanderlust. Join us as we take you on a journey through the stories that shaped our year, filled with humour, lessons learned, and the genuine SENSEcity spirit.

While 2022 came with some challenges, it is the collaborative effort of our team, our supporting organisations and our consultants that kept us motivated to do what we do. We are so lucky to be surrounded by so much knowledge, talent and energy.

So, we knew what the Historiscope needed to do but the challenging question was how should it do it? And equally importantly, how should it look? That brings us onto sharing our thoughts on Historiscope’s design journey. 

The idea was to make the City Sightseeing Bus experience in Glasgow very dynamic and elevate the customer’s journey while they explore the city.

The need to evolve a user experience at the site, to engage visitors in a new way with the broader Historic Environment is what led HES to put out an innovation call, and SENSECity answered, pitching the new age telescope, “Historiscope.”

SENSEcity is collaborating with Historic Environment Scotland (HES) on an R&D Project to create new Immersive Heritage Experiences after winning the Creative Informatics (CI) Challenge Project in 2020.

Team Innovate got together to run a Design Sprint session with SenseCity an AR-app and a guided tour booklet to explore a city’s heritage landscape… starting with near and dear Glasgow city and with the potential to scale worldwide!
