For the Palatine itineraries at the Colosseum Archaeological Park, KARMACHINA designed an immersive audiovisual experience in the House of Augustus, the House of Livia, and the Neronian Cryptoporticus. The project combines historical accuracy with emotional engagement, revealing the rich decorative and architectural heritage of the imperial residences.

A 30-metre-long projection in the Neronian Cryptoporticus introduces the decorative elements of the Palatine sites, complemented by an enveloping soundtrack.

A multimedia visitor experience was conceived and developed for the House of Augustus and the House of Livia, guiding the public through these archaeological sites. Advanced technologies bring to life spaces partially erased by time, revealing the architecture, decorations, and historical narratives of the imperial residences.
