What if there was a way to make ancient world heritage come to life? An interactive view that enables you to experience landscapes of the past? The Wetfutures project has embraced an innovative way to bring science to the general public by making use of immersive technologies.

A Mixed Reality (MR) app was developed for the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Schokland, a former island in the Zuiderzee that is considered a national symbol for the age-old Dutch battle against the water.

Project leader of this European Wetfutures project is Assistant Professor Roy van Beek. He explains more about this project in a short movie that can be found here.

More info on this project can also be found on the NWO website.
