Reimagining Heritage: How Immersive Technologies are Transforming Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Place

Heritage organisations are increasingly adopting XR, digital twins, projection mapping and immersive storytelling to bring places, collections and stories to life. This session explores how emerging technologies can create deeper visitor engagement, unlock new revenue opportunities and support the preservation and interpretation of cultural assets. The discussion will combine practical case studies from Ireland and beyond, exploring how digital experiences are being used to attract new audiences, enrich tourism offerings and create entirely new ways of engaging with heritage.
