Museums & Heritage

Illuminating stories of innovation, from ancient worlds to outer space.

We work with curators, exhibition designers, and heritage specialists to develop immersive content that honours its source material while finding the creative interpretation that makes it live for a contemporary audience.

That might mean working with historical footage and photography to build a projection-mapped environment. It might mean using holographic techniques to give presence to a figure, a moment, or a place that no longer exists. It might mean something quieter - a single projection, perfectly placed, that changes how a room feels. The scale varies. The intention doesn't.

  • Giant Leaps - Manchester Science and Industry Museum

    Created in collaboration with choreographer Corey Baker, Giant Leaps was an interactive installation exploring how human movement changes across different atmospheres — part of Corey Baker's ambition to choreograph a dance for astronauts with the European Space Agency. Using depth sensors and custom software, we transformed audience and dancer movements into real-time particle systems inspired by imagery from the James Webb and Chandra X-ray Observatories. Holographic projection gave those animations physical presence, creating the illusion of galaxies forming and expanding around the people in the room. After its debut at the Manchester Science Festival, the experience transferred to the National Science and Media Museum for an extended run.

  • A Place of Ceremony - Kilmartin Museum

    Kilmartin Glen is one of the UK's most significant archaeological landscapes, and the museum's brief asked us to bring that world genuinely to life. A Place of Ceremony is an immersive film exploring the spiritual relationship Neolithic people had with sound and ritual — the objects they left behind, the monuments they built, and the landscape they shaped. Developed in collaboration with award-winning composer Pippa Murphy and exhibition designers Studio Arc, it takes visitors 10,000 years back into a world where sound itself was a gateway.

  • Provost Skene's House, Aberdeen

    Commissioned by Aberdeen City Council and developed in close collaboration with exhibition designers Studio Arc, Hall of Heroes is a tribute to ten of Aberdeen's most influential figures. Inspired by the Northern Lights, the space transforms through dynamic projection mapping — enveloping visitors in light and movement that brings each person's story, legacy and presence into the room. A second installation in the same building, Sporting Champions, wove archive footage into an immersive projection-mapped film celebrating the city's finest athletes.

The stories are real, often fragile, and they belong to people - getting it right matters.

Who we work with

Museum commissioners, heritage organisations, exhibition designers, and cultural institutions at any stage of development - from early concept through to delivery. We are equally comfortable being brought in at the start of a project or joining a team that is already in motion.

If you are building an experience that needs to carry genuine meaning - We'd like to hear about it.
