878AD is a next generation immersive experience by Sugar Creative, Hampshire Cultural Trust, Ubisoft and Sarner. This ground breaking project brings the Viking age to life through an immersive exhibition and city-scale augmented reality (AR). Users can explore Winchester and uncover hidden stories using geolocated AR technology which uses, for the first time, assets and content from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

The app and exhibition offer a unique glimpse into a key moment in history—the defeat of the Vikings by Alfred the Great in 878. Audiences are transported to Anglo Saxon England, witnessing the aftermath of the battle and the city’s reconstruction.

878AD expands the exhibition space to encompass the entire city, combining historical narratives with play and exploration. It showcases the possibilities of immersive technologies, pushing the boundaries of storytelling and engagement.

By bringing together history, technology, and entertainment, 878AD offers a truly unique and captivating experience. It exemplifies the power of immersive storytelling to educate, entertain, and transport audiences to a different time and place.

1 in 2 SME Fleet Managers feel stressed in that role – mainly because fleet management is not their core job: they’re juggling it alongside their day-to-day job. But while they find it a struggle, we wanted to show that Alphabet can remove much of that hassle and inconvenience.

Playing on the tropes of the wellness industry, Fleet Dreams promises a zen-like transformation of your role. All the hassle floats away, all the stresses evaporate – and all that’s left is a calmer, more relaxed you, with a fleet that runs effortlessly.

The project Zone worked on is for the Education Department of The Football Association (The FA). The FA has a deep commitment to create an inclusive and engaging game for fans, players and its workforce, from coaches to referees and everyone in between. The workforce is crucial to ensure that the values The FA stands by are promoted and encouraged across all levels of the game. Furthermore, FA Education is seen as setting the standard for football coaching and education for the entire football workforce.

However, The FA decided that the previous digital solution — the now decommissioned BootRoom — did not live up to those standards, or the expectations of fans and other users. We were tasked with creating a new learning hub that could cater to multiple audiences and was inclusive of diverse genders, background ethnicities, disabilities, and learning styles.
