RESEARCH


We've identified museums as our primary collaboration partners. After conducting research across a range of European museums, we've noticed a clear interest in incorporating cutting-edge technology to enrich exhibitions and provide deeper, immersive narratives. Thus, we've developed a demo using Vision Pro to scan Egyptian artifacts, uncovering the untold historical stories they hold.






SITEMAP & PROTOTYPE


The homepage displays artifacts arranged chronologically. Users can interact with specific items by adjusting the timeline. When they click on an artifact, it reveals detailed textual information. Upon pressing the 'time travel' button, it initiates an immersive video experience, offering in-depth insights. Subsequently, users will engage in AI-driven dialogues, communicating with artifacts or historical figures. Throughout this process, they have the option to curate their collection by adding artifacts to the library.
