Technology, Platforms and Stories — Built for Heritage

Three ways of working, one purpose: helping people engage with real places, real artifacts and real stories.

Our Flagship Public Experience

Discover the Stories Around You

Heritage Explorer brings museums, landmarks, historic sites and overlooked stories across Ontario into one experience — blending history, exploration, learning, maps, audio and personal journeys.

It is designed to encourage people to get out and explore real places: find something new nearby, listen to its story, plan a road trip around it, and record the moment it became meaningful.

History becomes more meaningful when it is connected to a real place, a personal journey and the moment you discovered it.
Explore
Discover museums, landmarks, trails, historic buildings and hidden stories nearby or across Ontario.
Listen
Hear accessible audio stories that explain why a location matters without requiring long walls of text.
Plan
Build routes and road trips around history, museums and places worth visiting.
Journal
Record personal memories, notes, photographs and discoveries from the places visited.
Remember
Build a personal Journey that becomes a lasting record of exploration rather than a simple checklist.
Learn Naturally
Blend history and education into the experience without making it feel like homework or a course.

Explore. Discover. Remember.

Heritage Explorer is a Waypoint Heritage-owned product — currently in development.

The Canadian Tank Museum App

Canadian Tank Museum
Android & iPhone · Live on Google Play and the App Store

The Canadian Tank Museum app gives visitors a self-guided journey through Canada's armoured history. Visitors scan QR codes attached to exhibits and historic vehicles to hear the stories of the soldiers, crews and machines connected to them.

It also provides access to museum admission, live vehicle demonstration tickets and additional visitor resources — a custom visitor experience built around one museum's collection and real visitor journey.

  • QR scanning throughout the museum
  • Exhibit-specific audio stories
  • Self-guided visitor experience
  • Information connected to real vehicles and displays
  • Museum admission links
  • Live vehicle-show ticket access
  • Public Android and iPhone release
  • No user data collected
  • Designed around the institution's real visitor journey
Heritage Explorer demonstrates our own public product vision. The Canadian Tank Museum app demonstrates how we adapt that experience-building knowledge for an individual museum.

Two Apps, One Team

One Vision. Different Experiences.

The same experience-building knowledge, applied at two very different scales.

Heritage Explorer
A public exploration product

Connecting people with museums, landmarks and stories across many locations — a broad regional discovery platform owned and developed by Waypoint Heritage.

Canadian Tank Museum App
A custom institutional app

Designed around one museum, its collection, its exhibits and its visitors — a focused digital experience built for a single institution.

Waypoint Heritage can create a broad regional discovery platform or build a focused digital experience around a single museum.

Documentary and Educational Production

Project 1918

Project 1918 is an ongoing documentary-style series that brings First World War history to life through museum expertise, research, restoration and cinematic production.

Bringing history back to life on screen

The series turns technical knowledge, historic artifacts and restoration work into accessible educational stories for museum visitors, online viewers, schools and history audiences.

Waypoint Heritage's production contribution includes series development, documentary-style filming, interviews, ground-level cinematography, aerial drone footage, FPV footage where appropriate, restoration documentation, historic image integration, editing, educational storytelling, episode graphics and short promotional clips.

Series Development Documentary Filming Interviews Aerial Drone Footage Restoration Documentation Editing & Graphics Educational Storytelling Promotional Clips

Technology & AI

Modern Technology for Heritage

Technology changes quickly. Great stories do not.

Waypoint Heritage helps museums confidently adopt modern technology where it genuinely improves visitor experiences, preservation, education and daily operations.

We combine practical software, artificial intelligence, digital media and interactive experiences to support museums — without adding unnecessary complexity.

AI-assisted research Multilingual experiences Voice narration Knowledge organisation Digital publishing Interactive visitor experiences Future AI-ready museum platforms

AI is one tool within a wider heritage toolkit — never the hero. History is.

Modern technology meets heritage
"Technology should never distract from the story. It should help people experience heritage in meaningful ways."
Who We Help

Start Where You Are

Not every heritage organization needs a full platform on day one. We meet institutions where they are and grow with them.

01

One Exhibit, One Story

A single QR experience or audio story attached to one artifact — the simplest way to begin connecting visitors with what you already have.

02

A Visitor App

A custom app built around your exhibits, collection and visitor journey.

03

Platforms That Run the Museum

Operations, volunteer coordination, collections, restoration tracking and knowledge — tools for the people who keep the institution alive.

Selected Work

Proven Across Products, Platforms and Films

Real work — not generic promises.

About Waypoint Heritage

Built from Real Museum Work

Waypoint Heritage uses technology to encourage people to engage more deeply with real places, real artifacts and real stories. The technology is never meant to replace the museum visit or the journey — it is meant to encourage curiosity, exploration, learning and memory.

We understand both sides of heritage: how institutions operate, and how the public discovers and connects with the past. That combination shapes everything we build.

Built from Experience
Founded on real museum and heritage work, not abstract theory.
Designed for Heritage
Every solution shaped around the practical needs of heritage organizations.
Story-First Technology
Technology supports the story rather than competing with it.
End-to-End Service
Strategy, design, development, content and ongoing support — under one roof.
