Museum of the Bible Mobile VR Experience
How do you communicate the scale, atmosphere, and emotional resonance of a museum to audiences who may never visit it in person? The Museum of the Bible approached Neutral Digital with a clear ambition: to create a transportable experience that could convey the museum’s architecture, exhibitions, and cultural significance in educational and outreach settings around the world.
Task
Enable the Museum of the Bible to present its architecture, exhibitions, and visitor experience beyond its physical location, through a travelling installation that brings the museum directly into classrooms and educational events — without requiring travel to Washington, D.C.
Neutral Digital developed a fully mobile virtual reality experience for Meta Quest 3, allowing museum representatives to bring the institution directly to classrooms, exhibitions, and events. Through high-fidelity stereoscopic 360° capture and spatial audio narration, users are placed at the centre of the museum’s Main Hall and galleries, able to explore and absorb the environment as if physically present.
The experience is designed to be intuitive and inclusive, accessible to first-time VR users while retaining the visual and narrative fidelity expected of a world-class cultural institution.
The experience offers two complementary modes. A seamless guided tour provides a curated introduction to key architectural and exhibition spaces, delivering a refined, six-minute narrative ideal for group demonstrations and structured presentations.
For deeper engagement, an interactive exploration mode uses a three-dimensional scale model of the museum as an intuitive navigation tool. Users select specific galleries or floors from the model and are transported instantly into richly detailed 360° environments, enabling focused discovery while maintaining clarity and ease of use.
Beyond its immediate application, the experience establishes a scalable digital foundation. The same immersive content can be extended across kiosks, web platforms, and future interactive environments, ensuring the museum’s story can continue to reach new audiences in new ways.
Through immersive visualisation, the Museum of the Bible is no longer confined to a single location. Its architecture, exhibitions, and narrative can now travel, allowing audiences everywhere to experience its presence with clarity, authenticity, and emotional depth.
