Journey back through time at Warwick Castle



AN interactive attraction at Warwick Castle promises to take visitors back in time using 3D and 4D technology.

Time Tower, which opened to visitors on March 28, is the first of its kind in the UK to combine 3D scanning and modelling, projection mapping, and 4D effects. 

It knits together compelling stories from the Middle Ages, the Tudors, and the Victorian era into a time-travelling narrative brought vividly to life.

Figment Productions, the creative team behind LEGO Factory Tour Experience at LEGOLAND Discovery Centres and Octonauts at SEA LIFE, has used 3D scanning and modelling know-how to create a scale model of Warwick Castle that transforms through time with projection mapping and 4D effects.

Time Tower will be unveiled historian’ and author, Dan Jones, whose Channel 5 series Secrets of Great British Castles – featuring Warwick Castle – started this month.

Dan Jones said: ‘Time Tower is un-missable. It uses the latest technology to grab and keep kids’ attention, and it weaves together story threads from different times in our history, to show how everything is connected. Because Time Tower uses technology so naturally, its story unfolds in a way that kids can grasp easily. Yet it never loses authenticity or accuracy.’
