Virtual maritime discovery

Interactive digital discovery inspired by the sea: simulations, virtual experiences, navigation, creative technology and maritime challenges.

The Digital Dockyard is planned as a place where the Solent's past, present and future could meet through technology. Visitors might take the helm in a navigation simulation, explore historic vessels virtually or test themselves against maritime challenges. The space may also support youth digital skills outside visitor hours, showing how one room could serve both visitors and the community across the day.

Physical spaces at the Hub are planned to be multi-use and could change throughout the day.
