We're thrilled to announce that the Waterford Digital Story Trail, a project developed by Imvizar in collaboration with Waterford City and County Council, has picked up the Digital Changemaker Award at the prestigious .ie Digital Town Awards 2024!

This award recognises the trail's innovative use of technology to enhance storytelling and deepen visitors' connection to Waterford's rich history and heritage.

The Waterford Digital Story Trail utilises captivating AR experiences and immersive audio clips to bring 15 historical locations across Waterford City to life. Visitors can explore these locations using their smartphones, unlocking stories about legendary figures, pivotal events, and fascinating local customs.

This innovative project has not only boosted tourism but also fostered a deeper appreciation for Waterford's heritage amongst local residents.

The Waterford Digital Story Trail's success extends beyond the .ie Digital Town Awards. It was recently featured in the New York Times' "52 places to go in 2024" list and praised on RTE's Nationwide program for its exemplary approach to digital heritage storytelling.

This award win underscores Imvizar's dedication to developing impactful AR experiences that enrich lives, educate communities, and boost local economies. We're proud to have played a role in creating this award-winning project for Waterford City and County Council.

Plan your trip to visit Waterford and embark on a captivating journey through time with the Waterford Digital Story Trail!
