At SENSEcity, we push the boundaries of immersive storytelling. As an innovative Experience Design Studio, we specialise in creating bespoke Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) experiences for the cultural heritage and tourism sectors.
We’re based in Glasgow, Scotland with clients across the UK and have been providing cutting-edge digital solutions to the arts, culture and heritage industries since 2018.
Our flagship product, Historiscope is transforming how people experience the past. This AR-enabled viewing scope turns outdoor spaces into windows to the past, overlaying historic scenes and stories into the real world. Inspired by a tourist telescope’s design, this device fuses authentic history with AR technology. Historiscope has already wowed over 150,000 visitors at Stirling and Urquhart Castle, by making history more immersive and accessible to younger audiences.
But we don’t stop there. We’ve developed a suite of interactive solutions:
• City Sightseeing Glasgow: Our AR prototype app redefines the bus tour experience, uncovering Glasgow’s hidden stories at every stop.
• Historistage: We blend 3D physical models of heritage venues with AR, turning static displays into interactive, story-rich encounters at sites like the Brighton Dome and Corn Exchange.
• SENSEcity Walks: Our self-guided AR walking tour app uncovers Glasgow’s hidden historical narratives, bringing the city’s rich history to life in a way you’ve never seen before.
At the heart of everything we do is storytelling. We believe that great stories connect people with places, creating experiences that resonate long after the journey ends. That’s why we’re committed to offering the following core services:
• Research: We dive deep to find the authentic stories that make each place special.
• UI/UX Design: We craft user-friendly, intuitive interfaces for engaging digital experiences that are a joy to use.
• Content Development: Our team develops historically accurate 3D models + animations and visuals to enhance storytelling at every interaction.
• App Development: We build immersive AR apps that turn every experience into a journey.
• Spatial Experiences: We design AR viewing scopes for unique, location-based interactions.
