The Steps Involved

Every project like every business and brand is diffrerent, here are some steps we find common between deployments in your industry.

Step 1: Define goals & sponsors

Pick 1–2 priorities: dwell, learning, or sponsor ROI. Align with sponsors early for attribution and rights approvals.

  • Pick dwell/learning/ROI

  • Align with sponsors 

  • Rights & content cleared

Step 2: Configure formats & tech

Choose projection, LED, AR, or VR formats. Lock hardware vendors, select 2–3 stories, integrate ticketing/CRM.

- Projection/LED config - 2–3 storylines - Ticketing/CRM integration - Staff enablement

Step 3: Run pilot exhibit

- 1 pilot gallery/zone - 5–10k visitors - Track dwell, opt‑ins, redemptions

Step 4: Test, Record, Improve In Live Service

- Dwell +20–40% - Learning retention +15–25% - Sponsor ROI uplift 8–15% - Accessibility audits

All activations include captions, high‑contrast visuals, strobe‑safe defaults, and mobility options.

What’s the MVP?

1 projection gallery, 1 AR tour, 1 sponsor zone.

What to track from day one

Track dwell, opt‑ins, sponsor mentions, redemptions, learning assessments. Anonymous or opt‑in only.

  3. Sponsor ROI through measurable redemptions/mentions 

  4. Accessibility at the heart with inclusive, multi-sensory options

  • Lift visitor dwell time and repeat visits 

  • Enhance learning and retention with immersive exhibits 

  • Deliver sponsor ROI with attributable outcomes

Museums & Cultural Playbook

You want to attract diverse audiences, deliver memorable learning, and keep sponsors happy, without compromising safety or accessibility. 


This playbook shows how immersive storytelling boosts engagement, learning, and sponsorship outcomes.

ROI snapshot

Inputs: visitors × dwell uplift × spend, sponsor redemptions × CPA, grants tied to learning outcomes. Payback within 12–18 months.
- Dwell uplift × spend - Sponsor redemption × CPA - Grants tied to outcomes - Payback

Pilot Design Example

Run 1 projection gallery, 1 AR tour, 1 sponsor activation. Target: 5–10k visitors, KPI thresholds, zero safety/privacy incidents.
- 1 projection gallery - 1 AR tour - 1 sponsor activation - 5–10k visitors - Zero incidents

Safety, Privacy & Accessibility in Museums

Projection/LED installs must meet fire/building codes. AR/VR requires clear signage and opt‑ins. Accessibility defaults: captions, high‑contrast, strobe‑safe, mobility support. No biometrics. Sponsor activations supervised and transparent.

• Projection/LED code compliance • Clear signage/opt‑ins • Accessibility defaults • No biometrics • Supervised sponsor activations

Risks & mitigations

Risks: low adoption, sponsor rights issues, safety approvals. Mitigations: pre‑cleared content, sponsor alignment, certified installs, staff training.
