Visiting Santa Maria della Scala by piloting an Avatar from home

Visiting the Santa Maria della Scala museum complexfrom home? You can, through an Avatar that you can pilot as you wish inside some of the museum’s halls. Making this particular visit possible is the BrainControl platform, presented by the Siena museum last January.

It will be a remote visit through a remote-controlled Avatar. Trying this experience is simple: it is necessary to book the visit through the BrainControl platform, connect remotely to an Avatar and pilot it autonomously to move around part of the museum. The visitor can interact and relate to other visitors and guides inside the museum. It is possible to adjust audio, video and height of the field of view to better observe the exhibits or read the descriptive captions, making the experience fully immersive.

The Avatar is scheduled to be used on Tuesday afternoons, and the rooms that can currently be visited are the Mascioli Rooms (where the exhibition Dürer, Altdorfer and the Nordic Masters from the Spannocchi Collection in Siena is on display), Pellegrinaio, the Manto Chapel and the Children’s Art Museum.
