3D digitisation & interactive museum experiences

Your collection.
A closer look.

Bring the stories behind your objects into visitors’ hands. We capture collections in 3D and create interactive experiences for the gallery, the classroom and the web.

For independent museums, foundations and heritage collections in the US and UK.

The Keeladi Museum project

From the excavation
to an experience.

For the Tamil Nadu State Department of Archaeology, we photographed and reconstructed 300 artefacts, then brought them into a museum app through 3D viewing, augmented reality and bilingual interpretation.

Visitors can explore objects up close, hear their stories, navigate the museum and step into a reconstructed excavation in AR.

What we can build with your museum

One collection.
More ways to explore it.

01

Digitise your objects

A planned photogrammetry workflow, documented capture and 3D models prepared for agreed uses. We define object access, handling and quality requirements with your collections team.

Capture planning · master files · optimised models

02

Build a visitor experience

Let visitors rotate objects, discover details and follow curator-approved stories. Begin on the web, with a dedicated app, AR or gallery touchscreen where it serves the experience.

Interactive 3D · interpretation · audio & languages

03

Keep it useful

Give your team a clear handover and a practical route to adding objects, updating interpretation and maintaining the experience. Agree support and future expansion before launch.

Content workflow · training · ongoing support

A focused first project

Start with
10 objects.

Make a useful first collection experience before committing to a wider programme.

Plan your pilot
  1. 01

    Select the collection

    Choose a small group of objects, an audience and a clear purpose with your curatorial team.

  2. 02

    Agree capture and scope

    Use suitable existing 3D files, or scope a new capture project. On-site access, travel and any local capture support are agreed before quotation.

  3. 03

    Build, review and hand over

    Create the experience, review it with your team and hand over the agreed files, documentation and support plan.

Each pilot is quoted for its collection, content and capture needs. Schedule, ownership, acceptance criteria and support are agreed in the proposal.

Before we begin

A few practical
questions.

Do we need to commission an app?

No. A pilot can begin as an interactive web experience. We recommend the format after discussing your audience, setting and collection.

Can you work with our existing 3D files?

Yes. We first check their format, quality and permissions. Suitable files can form the starting point for a visitor experience, with any additional work scoped separately.

How does capture work in the US or UK?

We agree the capture arrangement with your team before the project starts. This can involve a planned on-site visit or a suitable local capture partner. Location, collection access and logistics affect the quotation.

Who owns the models and content?

Ownership and permitted uses are set out in your agreement. The proposal identifies the collection files, public-use models and documentation you receive, alongside any software licence and support terms.

Can these scans support research or condition monitoring?

Tell us the measurements or changes you need to assess. We would scope a separate validation exercise with your specialists and agree suitable capture methods, measurement checks and limitations before making research or monitoring commitments.

Let’s look at your collection

Which objects
would you start with?

Tell us about your museum, the collection and what you want visitors to discover. We’ll discuss the fit and outline a practical first project.
