Guildford Castle VR

Guildford Castle VR is a free-roaming narrative VR experience with light interactivity. You explore a digital recreation of Guildford Castle, moving between the site as it stands today and a reconstruction of the castle and medieval town in 14th-century England.

Explore the castle

Guildford Castle was built in the wake of the Norman Conquest and has stood for over 900 years. A digital double of the present-day castle was created using 3D scanning. You can also step into a reconstruction of the former regional palace and town as they would have looked in the late medieval period.

Hear the castle's history

An audio tour presents the castle’s history through audio-visual hotspots. The historical reconstructions are based on research and include the sights and sounds of the era, a medieval soundscape and dynamic day-night lighting.

Move through the environment

The VR environment supports 6DoF locomotion and free exploration. It includes botanically accurate foliage, dynamic birds and butterflies, and a rich soundscape.
