Digital Exhibition

Dive into the South West Anarchy Research Project (SWARP) digital exhibition, where 1000 years of anarchy in the southwest of England come to life! Explore a main space filled with detailed photos and artefacts from community-led excavations, then step through three interactive doors: one leading to a 3D reconstruction of the Hartygrove dig site, another showcasing Bristol University’s incredible excavations at Royal Fort Gardens, and a third offering a thrilling 360-degree tour of modern Bristol street art. Discover the past and present like never before!

The PC (non-VR) version of the SWARP Digital Exhibition is tested on Windows 11. 

The VR version is tested on the Meta Quest 3 headset, but it should work on any up-to-date Android based VR headset. You'll either need to 'sideload' the .apk (see our Sideloading package) or upload it to a headset directly via the Meta Quest Developers Hub.
