We started with a vision to bring the world to people regardless of their location. We developed a platform that emotionally engage visitors to museum exhibits through immersive storytelling using their own mobile devices. Our team is passionate about the future of art, culture and heritage and constantly inspired to increase accessibility and delivering new audiences to your art, culture and heritage projects.
“Technology mirrors art — it’s a ceaseless dance of human imagination. We strongly believe in its use to enrich the museum journey, transforming each visit into an immersive odyssey of discovery and wonder.”
RealMeta Studios Incorporated is located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People, and we acknowledge them as the past, present, and future caretakers of this land. To uphold our responsibilities as treaty people we at RealMeta, are committed to building relationships with Indigenous communities and organizations throughout Canada and the world.
