“Simon approached us with an idea for a virtual reality experience at RHS Chatsworth Flower Show. We had limited resources at the time but Simon managed to work within our budget to produce an installation that exceeded all expectations. The installation proved extremely popular with visitors and allowed us to tell a story using new technology that our visitors may not be able to experience elsewhere”
Our first digital histories installation went live at the RHS Chatsworth flowershow on the 6th June 2017. With a Virtual reconstruction of Joseph Paxtons Great Glass Conserventory. The Glass Conserventory was Paxton first major building projects built in 1840 and demolished in 1920. Housed a large inflatable structure visitors to the flowershow could get an experience of this lost building viewing it from various viewpoints. One of our first to have a look was Mary Berry and Alan Titchmarch. Both thought it was great.
It was a busy week with mixed weather, we had over 5,000 people spanning many generations all taking a look. Including Jane aged 85 who thought "it was lovely"
We relied on a number of volunteers (Son, daughters, neighbours, partner, the Chatsworth team and friends) to help man the busy installation, all did a great job. Thank you.
