Case Study: Federal University of Rio de Janeiro preserves National Museum memories with ThingLink

Federal University of Rio de Janeiro shares thousands of National Museum photos with ThingLink

The Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO) faced the challenge of preserving memories and cultural heritage after a devastating fire destroyed the National Museum of Brazil. They sought to create an immersive digital space where people could share and link their personal memories, photos, and media to the exact locations they remembered within the museum.

Using ThingLink's interactive 360 media platform, a student project team from UNIRIO collaborated with the vendor to build a virtual tour. The solution enabled the public to explore an interactive space filled with user-submitted content, effectively preserving the museum's memory. ThingLink provided an easy-to-use interface that allowed the team to focus on collecting and presenting stories without complex coding, making the experience lightweight and accessible for mobile users.
