Case Study: Osterburg in Weida digitizes cultural experiences with rooom

Osterburg - Customer Case Study

Osterburg, a historic castle and cultural landmark in Weida, sought to modernize its visitor experience and provide digital access to its history. The challenge was to engage a broader audience, particularly younger visitors, and sustainably digitize the cultural site. Partnering with vendor rooom, they utilized an app and augmented reality (AR) to create a digital knowledge path.

rooom implemented an interactive app featuring an audio guide, videos, and augmented reality projections, including a virtual tower keeper and a mascot named Türmi. They also created a virtual 360° tour, allowing the castle to be explored remotely. The solution successfully engaged all age groups, provided digital access during physical closures, and increased interest in visiting the site in reality.
