Abstract

Immersive museum exhibits offer visitors an active, multisensory experience. The aim of this research is to create a distinctive new experience-mediating soundscape resource for the Cardona Castle heritage site. The resource uses immersive (binaural) audio as a means of communication and storytelling. The research includes a study of the castle’s history and the surrounding area, in order to identify possible new subject of interest, and an assessment of the exhibits currently offered at the site. The soundscape evokes different moments and situations from history to give visitors a more personal experience of heritage. The tool is intended as a sustainable resource for tourism managers and an effective way of communicating the historical value of heritage sites and artefacts.
