Higher education | Museums and heritage
Augmented and virtual reality are engaging and dynamic teaching tools. Zubr works with higher education institutions and universities to develop XR experiential learning that brings complex concepts to life.
Step beyond textbooks and into new worlds – where students can explore impossible scenarios and gain deeper insights through hands-on interaction.
Our education partners usually have a concept they want to teach students through an immersive experience, whilst our museums and heritage sites want to visually show how a building or place has changed through time.
Whether it’s visualising the evolution of a historical site or simulating real-world challenges, we create high-quality, accurate 3D environments using photogrammetry, LiDAR, and terrain data. Our detailed virtual scenes, populated with lifelike characters and informative yet natural dialogue, ensure an experience that’s as educational as it is captivating. Our experiences can be deployed in AR, VR or through the web, meaning our accurate 3D visuals are made more accessible through a variety of digestible formats.
Passive learning is a thing of the past when you harness XR experiential education.
Expertise
Higher education
Zubr helps universities and higher education institutions utilise AR and VR to bring learning to life. Whether it’s stepping inside a historical event, handling rare artifacts through augmented reality, or practicing high-stakes scenarios in a risk-free virtual environment, we leverage immersive technology to encourage active participation and promote knowledge retention.
From augmented reality loan boxes that provide remote access to special collections, to virtual reality cyber security training: Zubr designs and develops digital teaching aids that seamlessly explore curriculum content without the need for complex setup or elaborate training. Our solutions are curriculum-aligned, reliable, and built for real-world classroom use – so you can focus on teaching while students take control of their learning.
Museums and heritage
Zubr develops immersive experiences for museums and heritage sites, allowing visitors to explore lost or altered landscapes and buildings as they once were. Through AR and VR technology, we bring these reconstructed sites to life in stunning 1:1 detail, offering a deeper, more tangible connection to history.
Every project begins with research. We collaborate closely with historians, academics, and curators to craft rich, informed digital interpretation. Working from historic photographs, descriptions, diagrams, and oral histories – whilst referencing comparable heritage sites – we ensure accuracy whilst filling in the gaps. By keeping our clients at the heart of the storytelling, we develop experiences that are both engaging and historically precise.
With over a decade of experience in digital heritage reconstruction, we know how to create memorable and interactive experiences. Our 3D recreations are often enhanced with information points, hotspots, and bespoke audio content, encouraging visitors to physically explore and engage with the space. By blending technology with storytelling, we empower visitors to take an active role in their learning journey.
