Treat yourself to an immersive experience!

With a view to new digital uses, the town of Montluçon wanted to set up a guided tour of the medieval town of Montluçon, combining various technologies from one remarkable point to another: virtual reality, 360° photos, videos, images, sounds, mini-games, etc.

To meet these ambitions, Montluçon has chosen Rendr. An expert in image synthesis and virtual reality since 2016, the company has created a range of services dedicated to enhancing the value of towns, monuments and historic sites for local authorities, museums and tourist offices.

Its Legendr application is a digital tourist guide that enables everyone, whatever their age, language, education or degree of mobility, to discover inaccessible historic sites through fun routes and treasure hunts.

Track down the English spy!

“The year is 1410, in the midst of the war between the French and English kingdoms. We have been informed that an English spy has been spotted in Montluçon. Can you unmask him in time?

It is with this text that the town of Montluçon introduces the discovery trail of its medieval heritage, including 360° virtual reality experiences of old Montluçon and the Esplanade du Château des Ducs de Bourbon, recreating the town in the 14th – 15th centuries.

Computer-generated image reconstructions allow visitors to discover heritage sites from different periods in history: Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the pre-war period.

This innovation, based on the technology of animated films and video games, offers both an understanding of the historical fabric and a new way of introducing visitors to lesser-known cultural sites.
