Beyond Virtual Museums: Exploring Immersive Experience Opportunities in the Cultural Heritage Sector
Workbook guiding immersive experience design for engagement with cultural heritage beyond traditional formats like the virtual museum or digital twin.
Description
Developed within the Horizon Europe TRANSMIXR project, this workbook offers a clear, practical pathway for cultural heritage professionals to explore immersive experiences beyond the digital twin or virtual museum formats. Through prompts, scenario-based exercises, and a structured ideation template, it guides users from early concept generation to viable prototypes while helping them align XR ideas with institutional values, audience needs, and organisational realities. Accessible to beginners and useful for both facilitated workshops and self-guided use, the workbook encourages experimentation, fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, and supports institutions in testing how XR can enhance engagement within their local or community contexts.
