We enjoy changing the world around us
We are unrestrained by the laws of time and space
We do it just to see their faces light up
We make technology invisible
We reveal the hidden layers
We put the audience at the centre of the experience

Experience the American Revolution like never before with Liberty Trail AR. Zubr’s immersive digital suite brings South Carolina’s revolutionary history to life, recreating iconic battles of the Southern Campaign in vivid detail.
The AR models present the scale of long-lost battlefield structures, and the details of how they may have looked in a way unmatched by words alone. I am excited to give visitors a deeper understanding of the history at each place and to bring that history to people anywhere who want to know more about the American Revolution.

People loved interacting with this installation, which mixes the nostalgia of seaside attractions with the magic of seeing a landscape change before your eyes. The fact that you don’t need anything to take part was key, allowing anyone, smartphone user or not, to walk up and see the past and future of the area spring to life around them.

We’ve worked with Zubr Curio on two fantastic VR projects: Island City and Afloat and Ashore. They are extremely creative and accommodating at the same time. They have a great team, maintained great communication throughout the project and delivered on time and have been fully supportive since. We would love to work with them again in the future.

This is our first venture using Augmented Reality and we are so impressed with the playful way it allows people to engage with Bridgwater station. This ambitious exhibition creatively shares stories from the community to other local residents and passengers, creating a deeper connection to the station and enhancing the value it has for everyone passing through.
Faye Keane, Severnside Community Rail Partnership’s Community Development Officer
The team at Zubr are really wonderful to work with, providing great communication and expert advice on the functionality of the binoculars and the types of content that would work effectively on the device. They were incredibly helpful at every stage right through design, install and even launch!
Natalie Fey, Interpretation Manager, SS Great Britain Trust
It’s been really exciting for me and my colleagues … to work on creating an app which can take people from 21st century London to 14th century Florence and to put this painting back into the lost space for which it was made 700 years ago.
Caroline Campbell, Director of Collections and Research, National Gallery London
AR is fun and using tech for stage planning is really fun and helpful…it makes archival content VERY accessible.

Working with Zubr Curio was a pleasure from start to finish. Working within a limited budget and timeframe, their team created an innovative mixed reality experience that exceeded all our expectations. They were collaborative, flexible and had a thorough and comprehensive understanding of AR/VR technologies and museum sector best practice.

This is a major development for Eden and we’re proud to be working with Zubr [Curio] to bring this unique experience and exciting new technology to our visitors. VR is one of the most dynamic new forms of entertainment and this is an experience that people can only have at Eden this summer. Where else will you be able to set foot on the surface of Venus?
