Museum guide tool that brings every detail into focus

Museums are full of objects visitors should see up close — but they can't. Glass cases, velvet ropes, and group size keep people at a distance. Immersia puts the close-up view on every visitor's own phone, synced in real time as the docent moves through the collection.

How museums use Immersia

• Docents control the narrative from a tablet. As the group moves from room to room, the guide pushes images, detail shots, and contextual video to every visitor's device in sync.
• Visitors join by scanning a QR code. No museum-provided device to manage. No app to download. No Bluetooth pairing. One QR code at the tour start.
• Show what the naked eye can't see. Zoom into brushstrokes, share X-ray or infrared images, display archival photos of the gallery from 100 years ago, show the object in its original context.

Why docents and museum educators choose Immersia

• Visitors keep their eyes on the art. Instead of crowding around a single tablet or craning to see a distant screen, every visitor has the detail on their own phone — while still looking up at the real object.
• No hardware to maintain. No guide units to charge, sanitise, and replace. No headphones to distribute and collect. Visitors use their own devices.
• Flexible pacing. Skip ahead for an engaged group. Linger on a detail for a curious visitor. The docent decides — not a pre-recorded track.
• Accessibility built in. Larger screens for low-vision visitors, and no physical device to handle for visitors with motor impairments.

Exhibition types that thrive with Immersia

• Fine art galleries — zoom into technique, compare with studies and sketches
• History museums — overlay archival photographs onto the present-day gallery
• Science and natural history museums — show microscopic views, diagrams, and animations
• Special exhibitions — create a temporary digital layer without permanent installation
• House museums and historic sites — reveal rooms as they once looked
• Sculpture gardens — show the artist's process, alternate angles, and related works
