Imagine turning a museum visit into a playable story where you don't just look at an old object, but live the experience of the person who owned it. This project uses VR and AI to turn historical artifacts into interactive game worlds. It's like moving from a silent movie to a fully immersive 3D experience to make history feel personal and real.
Museums struggle to engage younger, global audiences with static exhibits. Traditional displays often fail to evoke the deep emotional connection needed to understand historical injustices.
Three immersive digital games based on real museum collections. These include high-quality digitised assets and AI-driven content generation for VR/MR environments.
If you are a software developer dealing with low student engagement in history lessons — this project developed a method to combine museum assets with game mechanics that fosters empathy and learning. This allows for the creation of high-impact educational tools based on real-world artifacts.
If you are a museum manager dealing with declining physical footfall or limited reach — this project developed 3 digital games that bring museum collections to a global audience. This expands the reach of cultural institutions beyond their physical walls.
If you are a game studio dealing with the challenge of creating authentic, narrative-driven content — this project developed a way to use AI for procedural content generation and high-quality digitisation. This helps in building deeply personal stories based on actual eyewitness accounts.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost information is provided; however, the games are intended for publication on digital storefronts.
Yes, the project developed a general method combining museum design with game storytelling, which was tested across 3 different historical tragedies.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not listed, but the final games are intended for release on digital storefronts.
The project utilizes Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, and high-quality digitisation techniques to make physical items palpable in a digital environment.
The project period runs from 2022-10-01 to 2025-09-30, with final versions of games ready for publication by the end of this term.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercialization, featuring 8 partners across 6 countries. With a 38% industry ratio including 3 SMEs, there is a strong bridge between the research phase and market entry, supported by a mix of 2 research entities and 3 other organizations.
