Case Studies
Selected projects in immersive heritage, digital interpretation, and education
At AVimmerse, we work across heritage, education, and public-facing contexts to explore how digital interpretation can support understanding, engagement, and learning.
​
The projects below represent a selection of our work, ranging from long-term, place-based programmes to small-scale pilots and exploratory research. Some are ongoing, some are intentionally modest in scope, and many prioritise learning and evaluation over scale.
