Immersive Cultural Heritage

Bringing Heritage to Life Through Spatial Storytelling.

Let's Chat

MORE THAN JUST DEVELOPMENT

Digital archiving is not just about compiling fragments of the past but actively involving, communicating and documenting the lived experiences of those who still live the heritage in question, past and present.

What We Do

Glassbox3D works with museums, cultural institutions, and researchers to preserve and interpret living heritage through immersive spatial technologies. By centring lived experience, memory, and ethical fieldwork, we create digital heritage experiences that go beyond documentation, and into meaning.

Our Approach

**Purpose:** Build *trust*. **Key questions answered:** - Will you handle our heritage responsibly? - How do you work with communities? - What are your ethics? **Content focus:** - Fieldwork - Collaboration - Memory-led methodology - Technology as support, not spectacle
