Technology is changing the way people travel, work, communicate and spend their leisure time. There is an explosion of new and extended ways to use web, mobile and projections to create rich and memorable interactions. For the heritage sector to remain relevant and sustainable, it must make sure it remains at the forefront of this wave.
Heritage Sandbox supports collaborations with ground-breaking ideas that create innovative, meaningful experiences for the heritage sector. Projects could be an interactive installation for a museum, a new way of navigating a theme park, or a location aware game for a stately home.
Successful projects will engage users, facilitate new kinds of social interaction and be designed with multiple audience touch points in mind.
Some of the inspirational Heritage projects that have got us excited:
