Experience Castlegate: Festival of the Mind

The 'Experience Castlegate’ exhibit featured in the Futurecade exhibition for the Festival of the Mind 2018, which received a total of 7,199 visitors. The accompanying talk by Nick Bax, Carolyn Butterworth and John Moreland in the Spiegeltent received 300 attendees.

The 'Experience Castlegate' project was a collaboration between the Departments of Archaeology, Architecture and Computer Science, and creative partners Human, to develop a full 3D digital model of Sheffield Castle. The exhibit at Futurecade allowed visitors to experience Sheffield Castle through an augmented reality model, learn about recent archaeological research and see architectural visions of the site's future.

This used immersive technologies and research material developed through Experience Castlegate: AHRC Immersive Experiences
