Who We Are

Founded in 2024 with a passion for technology, history and art, we are a small studio based in Merseyside UK. We're still a new business, but we have a lot of experience in digital technologies and a strong understanding of how to leverage the best of modern technology to enhance our shared heritage.

Our mission is to transform the way people engage with cultural heritage by creating immersive and innovative digital experiences. We specialise in augmented reality and digital tools that bring museums, galleries, and historic sites to life, making art and history accessible, engaging, and interactive for all.

Expand Your Wall Space

Augmented Reality for Art Galleries

Through the magic of Augmented Reality we can expand your wall space far beyond the typical paragraph available to curators. Visitors can use their own devices to unlock the wealth of content you have surrounding your paintings.
Tell new stories and provide new ways to interact with your exhibits, bringing them to life in immersive and exciting ways.
