As climate change, conflict, and neglect threaten historic sites like ancient ruins, our shared global heritage is at risk.
XR—a term that includes augmented and virtual reality—offers powerful tools to help. XR offers a way to preserve disappearing heritage—by capturing sites in 3D, enriching visits with storytelling, and making global history accessible from anywhere.
Named for the ancient Carthaginian goddess of protection and the moon, if we can protect heritage in Tunisia—using immersive technology, community storytelling, and local leadership—we can build a model to safeguard cultural sites around the world.
Help cover basic costs for scanning a site: like transportation, mobile data for uploads, and backup storage.
Cover a month of hosting and software for the open archive and the volunteers who optimize and publish models.
Run a free workshop or course session for the community, Splats With Phones, history lessons, mentoring and interview prep for students.
Sponsor a community scanning and site clean-up day with local volunteers, covering travel, meals and shared equipment, and start compensating local contributors for their time.
Build out the virtual museum and save toward professional scanning gear such as the XGRIDS PortalCam, so the community can capture more than a phone allows.
