Your challenges
Communication and scientific investigation tools for museums and historical sites
Our museography approach means supporting you at every design stage to shape your exhibition project and showcase your collections through multimedia. Cultural heritage brought to life through tailor-made digital interpretation tools that meet your outreach needs.
-
A communication tool — illustrated and animated Digital displays are placed along the visitor route to provide information about the works on show. Documentary films and 2D illustrations, projected directly or animated on touchscreen tablets, let every visitor engage with the exhibitions and scientific explorations.

Process
Creating multimedia museum installations in the service of heritage
Museography projects range from producing animated films to 3D reconstruction, including the development of interactive multimedia applications in virtual and augmented reality and on mobile.
From concept to delivery, producing a 3D animation or scientific illustration project involves several stages. Stages you are involved in, for a project aligned with your goals for cultural promotion and educational interpretation.
-
Augmented reality application — The Forges de la Hunaudière.
Field studies, cadastral map, on-site visit, measurement surveys. Drawing up plans based on the iconography.1 Research and scenography
The pre-production phase plans out the different stages of the scientific project. Before drawing a 2D illustration or animating a 3D film, it is essential to create a story to bring it to life in images. The synopsis lets us build your exhibition project into a coherent, captivating script. This is then translated into a storyboard — drawing boards that set the mood of the animation before production. The graphic animatic finalizes the images through set and texture design.
-
The Forges — 3D modeling based on iconography, archive images and documentary references of comparable buildings.
2 3D modeling and animation
Next comes the production phase. The sets and characters featured in the future 3D scenes are designed to measure. A 3D animation scene involves: 2D production (diagrams, photos, illustrations, icons), 3D production (modeling of objects and sets, texturing, lighting, animation) and sound production (music, voice-over, sound effects).
-
The Forges — Integration in Unity Technology. Adding the user interface and navigation. Programming interactions in C#.
3 Post-production and 3D scene assembly
Once the scenes of the museum animation project have been animated, they are assembled to follow the storyline (special effects, titling, transition effects). Your digital interpretation tool is then complete, viewable as video, in VR format or as a touchscreen experience.

Tailor-made scientific illustrations and digital animations
In the museography sector, 3D reconstructions are complex because they often rely on remains and old documents that are hard to read. This calls for a precise, rigorous scientific approach.
To meet these scientific, technical and aesthetic demands, IMASCIENCE brings together a multidisciplinary team combining all the skills needed to create your exhibition project.

The questions you’re asking.
How do you ensure the historical accuracy of a 3D reconstruction?
Through a documentary approach: archives, iconography, on-site surveys, comparison with similar buildings or objects, and discussions with your curators, archaeologists or historians. Every reconstruction hypothesis is explained and validated before being modelled. This is how we reconstructed Les Forges de la Hunaudière and the Valley of the Kings.
Our sources are incomplete: can a reconstruction still be made?
Yes — this is in fact the most common situation. We cross-reference the available documents with comparable references and formulate hypotheses, validated by your scientific committee. The level of certainty can be reflected in the display itself: what is attested, what is probable, what is merely suggested.
Do you respond to public tenders, and do you work with scenographers?
Yes. We regularly respond to tenders from local authorities and cultural institutions, either alone or in partnership with museographers and scenographers. Our installations fit into an existing or in-progress exhibition path.
Kiosks, tablets, VR headsets: who manages the equipment and maintenance?
We design installations built for intensive use in public spaces: robust interfaces, automatic restart, content that can be managed without technical skills. We advise you on the equipment suited to your exhibition path and handle content updates over time.
Our visitors range from 7 to 77: how do you design for everyone?
By working on levels of reading: immediate, playful interaction for the youngest, and in-depth content for the curious. Mediation takes priority over technology — the installation serves the message, never the other way around.
We're a small organization: is this within our budget?
Yes — the budget follows the ambition of the installation: a documentary film played on a loop doesn't cost the same as a virtual reality application. We scale the project to your means, and these productions often fit into applications supported by local authorities, the DRAC or the region.
