The Future Museum

An Mix reality app created by the Future Museum Studio at Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s Institute for Cultural and Creative Industry and Studio SpeciaLAND (Shanghai). Inside the experience, audiences take walking tours of highly detailed scans of international cultural heritage sites. The app will be published this Spring to the international Vision Pro and Meta Quest marketplaces. The Future Museum of Digitized Cultural Heritage is being launched with the goal of sharing digital preservation from around the world. The world’s shared cultural heritage is threatened by rapid environmental change, political strife, and human development. Over the last decade, organizations have conducted digital preservation of multiple sites, creating highly detailed 3D digital scans. Our goal is to use new technology to enable us, no matter where we are in the world, to explore the vast charms of human civilization beyond the constraints of space and time. And, in this way, help in the effort to preserve these sites for future generations. Presented in this experience are four historic sites in the La Mancha region of Spain. These scans were created as part of the amazing preservation work of Global Digital Heritage, a US-based non-profit research organization, working in collaboration with the Castilla-La Mancha regional government.
