Engaging Museum Visitors: An Ignite Project with the University of Brighton

This short film explores a collaboration between the University of Brighton’s and the Regency Town House charity in Brighton and Hove. Their pilot Ignite project uses augmented reality and machine learning to enable museum users to recreate original Georgian interior designs by digitally ‘painting’ them onto a wall. In an interactive exhibition each gesture made by visitors reveals layer upon layer of the design. In a series of events for the pilot, the museum became a living lab for visitor experience enabling participants to have a deeper connection to the Regency Town House.
The project was co-developed between the University of Brighton researcher Dr Marcus Winter and Phil Blume of the Regency Town House. It addresses the need for the museum and heritage centre to develop immersive and compelling ways for audiences to learn about the architecture and social history of Brighton and Hove from 1780s to the 1840s.

The application will become part of the Town House’s repertoire of visitor engagement activities, helping to reach new audiences, for example younger people, through immersive storytelling experience
