Reliving the Sacra Infermeria: Newly launched virtual museum at the Mediterranean Conference Centre
TECHNOLOGY MEETS HERITAGE AT THE MCC
Relive the Sacra Infermeria in what is today Malta’s Mediterranean Conference Centre, where technology meets heritage.
The AR Museum will be open as from Monday 27 July
A brand new mobile application delivers a cutting edge experience that uses augmented reality that enables you to relive what happened in this building centuries ago, when it was used as the first hospital in Malta.
Witness the last rites, stand next to the grandmaster during the blessing of the chapel and roam the kitchen while slaves are working on their daily routine.
All this with much more is available through this app that will make your visit a memorable one.
The main features of the mobile application are listed below:
- Augmented Reality Videos of historically accurate events that took place at the Sacra Infermeria
- Augmented Reality Games that enable you to be part of the action witnessed during the Second World War
- Create your own Augmented Reality scene and dance with the main characters using our special AR Builder
- Explore the museum at your own pace while listening to the detailed audio guide and discovering multimedia content related to every stop
- See what the Chapel of the Bones looked like before it was bombed during WW2
- Reach the special Holographic Display room where you can have a close encounter with a digital life-size version of Grandmaster De Valette.
This app also gives the opportunity to explore the Grand Harbour from our impressive Grand Harbour Terrace, from which one can learn about each and every point of interest surrounding this harbour.
Children and adults alike can immerse themselves into history by means of two interactive games, which take the user back in time to the Great Siege period of 1565 and the second world war in 1942.
All this can be experienced in various international languages.
The AR Museum will be open as from Monday 27 July
