Glassbox3D works with museums, cultural institutions, and research bodies to document, preserve, and interpret cultural heritage through immersive spatial technologies. Our work spans heritage documentation, immersive interpretation, and knowledge preservation — always grounded in research, fieldwork, and ethical collaboration.

We document cultural heritage sites, spaces, and histories using immersive spatial capture and research-led methodologies. This includes working directly within heritage environments and alongside communities to record physical spaces alongside memory, narrative, and lived experience. Our approach ensures heritage is preserved not only as structure, but as meaning.

Typical applications

- Heritage sites and landscapes

- Historically significant buildings and spaces

- Sites at risk, altered, or inaccessible

We create immersive VR and AR experiences that allow audiences to engage with heritage in meaningful, accessible, and educational ways.

These experiences are designed to support museums and institutions in interpreting history beyond static displays, enabling visitors to explore context, narrative, and lived experience through spatial storytelling.

Typical applications
- Virtual museum walkthroughs
- Interpretive exhibition experiences
- Educational heritage content

Using technologies such as 360° video and LiDAR capture, we digitally archive heritage sites and environments with spatial accuracy and contextual depth.

This is particularly valuable for sites that no longer physically exist, have been altered over time, or are difficult to access. Spatial archives can support research, conservation planning, education, and long-term preservation.

Typical applications
- Altered or destroyed heritage sites
- Remote or restricted locations
- Long-term digital preservation initiatives

We specialise in capturing and documenting indigenous knowledge and cultural practices through immersive technologies such as VR and AR.

By representing practices interactively and spatially, users are able to learn by doing — gaining insight into the cultural logic, context, and meaning embedded within these practices. This supports preservation while respecting the integrity and specificity of cultural knowledge.

Typical applications
- Cultural practices and rituals
- Traditional skills and knowledge systems
- Community-led heritage initiatives

Glassbox3D collaborates with universities, researchers, and cultural organisations on projects that sit at the intersection of heritage, technology, and education. Our work supports academic research, teaching, and public engagement by translating complex heritage material into immersive, accessible formats.

Typical applications

- Research-led digital heritage projects

- Educational tools and learning environments

- Interdisciplinary collaborations

Across all our work, we prioritise ethical fieldwork, collaboration with communities, and careful selection of technologies. Each project is approached with respect for its cultural context and long-term impact.
