Interactive archaeological app for an immersive visit

The Roman Museum of Lausanne-Vidy wanted to modernize its exhibition by making archaeology engaging and interactive. The goal: capture all audiences with an educational, playful, and durable digital solution that includes quizzes for each stratigraphic layer, enabling knowledge transfer through gamification. The result: an immersive touchscreen app placed in front of the site’s actual excavation layers. A new way to travel through history.

A touchscreen table at the heart of the excavation site

This app was designed for a kiosk-style touchscreen, fully integrated into the exhibition and directly facing the archaeological layers. Visitors can explore over a dozen strata, discover artifacts from each level, learn about archaeology professions, and follow a rich narrative through images, texts, and videos. A light synchronization feature highlights each layer on the wall painting in real time.

An enhanced, durable museum experience

  • Interactive focus on strata via light projection

  • Zoom on artifacts with multimedia content

  • Highlights of excavation and restoration professions

  • Durable design for intensive public use

  • Intuitive interface for all ages

This interactive archaeological app enhances Roman heritage in a modern, captivating, and sustainable way.

“The Roman Museum of Lausanne-Vidy was looking to evolve and make complex archaeological concepts more accessible to the public — this is now a reality thanks to an innovative digital installation that interacts with the surrounding scenographic elements. David and Gaël quickly understood the value of our approach, and an excellent collaboration developed, enabling the project to be carried out efficiently. With just a touch, our visitors can now decode Lausanne’s past.”
