Time explorers

by Novelab
2021

In the Spring of 2021, Novelab created 6 virtual reality experiences for a territory located in the South of France. Linked together by a narrative thread, these interactive experiences compliment the permanent exhibitions of 6 touristic sites of the territory. Thanks to them, the visitor dives into a series of travels in the past, an expedition to discover the cultural heritage of the Pays de Comminges.
