This experience, funded through CreaTech (MPLS Division, University of Oxford) and Oxford’s Humanities Cultural Programme, is a pilot project exploring new ways of engaging audiences with the centenary of the rediscovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. It uses interactive storytelling and AI to make archival material accessible to new audiences.
