Interactive Designers
Culture Force Consultancy works with a selection of reliable suppliers of bespoke audio visual interactives.
We designed and installed Chiltern Open Air Museum with an audio 'talking' well which is still in use a decade on. In one of the historic houses we designed and installed a scented chronological timeline as a clothes line. We have worked with museums and the National Trust creating reminiscence boxes for older people with beautiful replica scones and pleasant smells! We appreciate this might need a little explanation so do get in touch to tell us more about your project...
