AStation introduces its Enterverse mixed reality platform at tourismA 2026, presenting scalable solutions for museums and archaeological sites to enhance interpretation, accessibility and multilingual visitor engagement.
FLORENCE, February 27, 2026 –AStation will make its European debut at tourismA 2026, presenting its Enterverse mixed reality platform designed to transform how museums and archaeological sites interpret and present cultural heritage.
The company introduces technology that enables visitors to experience reconstructed historical environments in real time. Through digital overlays applied to physical spaces, crumbling walls can appear restored, empty halls can be visualised as active spaces, and archaeological sites can be presented as they once stood.
AStation’s platform includes personalised guide avatars capable of explaining civilisations in multiple languages. Exhibition rooms and halls can function as portals to different historical eras along curated visitor paths. At active excavation sites, reconstructed buildings can be visualised in their original condition. Historical environments can be recreated within museum courtyards, and selected events can be digitally replayed at their original locations.
Chris Chen, CEO of AStation, stated: “Museums hold humanity’s greatest stories, but static displays have inherent limitations. The Enterverse lets visitors step into the past itself. It becomes present.”
The proprietary platform overlays reconstructions onto existing spaces without altering artefacts or architectural structures. Institutions can present multiple historical periods within the same physical environment, with updates implemented as new archaeological findings emerge. The system is designed to support multilingual interpretation and improve access for visitors with mobility limitations by digitally opening otherwise inaccessible sites.
Chris Chen added: “We chose tourismA because European institutions lead the world in cultural preservation. We’re not replacing traditional curation – we’re amplifying it. Your scholarship remains the foundation. We give you the power to let visitors walk through time, experiencing the past as a living reality rather than static display. We’re offering a revolutionary new canvas for the incredible stories you’re already telling.”
The company states that the platform addresses the challenge faced by cultural institutions in maintaining visitor engagement in a digital environment, while presenting historical content in formats aligned with interactive media expectations.
AStation currently operates seven locations in Asia and reports strong demand from cultural tourism authorities and municipal governments for partnership agreements. Following its presentation at tourismA 2026, the company will seek partnerships with European museums. Licensing arrangements include access to the Enterverse platform, development of customised content based on institutional collections and operational support.
