Collaborative, evidence-led digital reconstructions
for museums, heritage sites and cultural institutions.
We work with your subject matter experts to research and build a detailed digital model of any heritage site, anywhere in the world — placed into a faithful reconstruction of its landscape so it can be truly understood in context.
Case study → ›Using the latest games engine technology and design thinking, we develop fully immersive experiences that can be installed as a permanent or temporary resource at your site.
We produce professional stills and video content from your reconstruction, ready to use in exhibitions, on your website and social media, and in educational and interpretive materials.
We create and deliver learning events with you. In November 2025 we livestreamed a narrated flight along Hadrian's Wall to over 3,000 school children as part of the Great North Museum's Hadrian's Wall Virtual Festival.
We advise on and support funding applications, drawing on extensive experience across heritage, arts and cultural development — helping you make the case for digital interpretation projects.
Case Study · Digital Site Reconstruction
Commissioned by Dr Sarah Slinguff of the University of Maryland, this project reconstructs the Castle of Zorita de los Canes as it appeared in its 9th century Islamicate condition — before later Christian additions transformed the site.
Dr Slinguff has spent several years studying the Islamicate fortifications of Castilla-La Mancha, including the fortress of Zorita. Working closely with archaeologists Dr. Dionisio Urbina Martínez and Catalina Urquijo who have directed excavations at the site for the past fifteen years, Slinguff became interested in visualising the Andalusi history of Zorita as a tool for teaching and further study. The reconstruction strips back later medieval and modern additions to think about the original Islamicate fortress and its associated settlement, set within a landscape shaped by the Tagus river system.
Working from Dr Slinguff's briefing materials, historical plans and archaeological evidence, TMD modelled the castle, its settlement, walls, towers and gateways alongside a reconstructed early medieval landscape — including wider and more substantial river courses that fundamentally change how the site's strategic importance can be understood.
The project serves as a proof of concept for a more ambitious collaboration with Dr Glaire Anderson of the Digital Lab for Islamic Visual Culture & Collections (DLIVCC) — a programme to reconstruct the wider landscape of early medieval Islamicate fortresses across the Iberian Peninsula.
Source material from Dr Slinguff's briefing: the ruined castle today alongside Basilio Pavón Maldonado's plan of the fortress and medieval town.
On what the digital makers contributed:
"Always. I would never think about how wall height added to the site; the rooves — which model should we use, Roman or Umayyad? What does the top of a fortress look like? Also, the ability to make the river and the stream larger and wider as they would have been in the early medieval period really changes the way you anticipate why someone would settle here. Once you get rid of all the early modern and modern buildings, you can see why Zorita would have been a very attractive site to settle at."Dr Sarah Slinguff — University of Maryland
On who she imagines engaging with the reconstruction:
"I will use it with my students, when I present my research, and also hopefully to convince others to work this way. The dream is to reconstruct the whole landscape of early medieval Islamicate fortresses in the Iberian Peninsula so that we can see how this landscape functioned and supported the Umayyad polity."Dr Sarah Slinguff — University of Maryland
