Discover the stories that shape them. Every place has a story. Waypoint Heritage helps museums, heritage organizations and communities create digital experiences that make those stories easier to discover, understand and remember.
We create digital experiences that help people connect with places, stories, communities and history — through technology that quietly supports the experience and never overshadows it.

History is everywhere around us, often hidden in places people pass every day. Heritage Explorer helps people discover museums, landmarks, trails, historic buildings and overlooked stories across Ontario — blending exploration, learning and modern technology into one friendly experience.
People can find new places, listen to their stories, plan journeys and record the locations that become meaningful to them.
Heritage Explorer is a Waypoint Heritage-owned product — currently in development.
The Canadian Tank Museum app helps visitors move beyond the display label and discover the people, events and machines connected to Canada's armoured history. Visitors scan exhibit QR codes, listen to audio stories and explore the museum at their own pace.
It also provides access to museum admission, live vehicle demonstration tickets and additional visitor resources — a focused digital experience built around one museum's collection and the stories it wants visitors to remember.
The same experience-building knowledge, applied at two very different scales.
Connecting people with museums, landmarks and stories across many locations — a broad regional discovery platform owned and developed by Waypoint Heritage.
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.
Project 1918 combines research, restoration, museum expertise and cinematic production to bring First World War history to audiences inside and beyond the museum.
The first episode of the Project 1918 series
Through documentary-style episodes, interviews, historical imagery, restoration footage and aerial filming, the series turns expert knowledge and historic artifacts into accessible educational stories for museum visitors, schools and online audiences.
Waypoint Heritage can help museums preserve expert knowledge, document restoration work, reach schools and online audiences, extend the life of an exhibition and build an ongoing educational series.
Produced as a collaborative series for and with the Canadian Tank Museum.
We describe what people will feel and discover — then explain how it is delivered.
Turn every exhibit into the beginning of a deeper journey.
Platforms that quietly support the people keeping institutions alive.
Documentary and educational media that reach people wherever they are.
Digital experiences that extend the building into the wider world.
Technology changes quickly. Great stories do not.
Waypoint Heritage helps museums and heritage organizations understand modern tools, decide what genuinely adds value and use them without unnecessary complexity.
We combine practical software, artificial intelligence, digital media and interactive experiences where they improve preservation, education, accessibility, visitor engagement or daily operations. Technology should remove barriers between people and the stories waiting to be discovered — never become the attraction itself.
We act as a calm, practical guide — helping institutions navigate technology responsibly.
Not every visitor can reach a museum in person. Digital exhibitions, interactive websites, virtual tours and online learning experiences can help museums reach schools, remote audiences, researchers and future visitors.
Collections and stories presented as rich online experiences that live beyond the visit.
Websites that guide visitors into deeper discovery rather than simply displaying information.
Guided remote visits that give people a genuine sense of place.
Interactive installations that enrich the physical visit.
Delivered through specialist partners where appropriate.
Working with institutions to build learning experiences together.
Waypoint Heritage can plan and create these experiences directly, or work with specialist partners and educational institutions where appropriate.
Museums should not need to understand every new platform, AI tool or technical system before they can use it. Waypoint Heritage helps organizations identify what is genuinely useful, choose a practical starting point and build experiences that support their mission.
We work with museums, historical societies, heritage sites, towns and municipalities, tourism organizations, cultural institutions, schools, colleges and community groups.
It marks progress, guides a journey and helps people reach places worth discovering. That is the role we want Waypoint to play.
Whether someone is exploring a museum, a historic town, a battlefield, a landscape or a forgotten trail, our purpose is to help them discover the stories that give those places meaning. Technology is how we support the journey — the experience is what matters.
Every place has a story. We help people find it.
Not every heritage organization needs a full platform on day one. We meet institutions where they are, find a practical starting point and grow with them.
A single QR experience or audio story attached to one artifact — the simplest way to begin connecting visitors with what you already have.
A custom app built around your exhibits, collection and visitor journey.
Operations, volunteer coordination, collections, restoration tracking and knowledge — tools for the people who keep the institution alive.
Real work — not generic promises.
A custom museum app with QR exhibit stories, audio guides, admission links and live demonstration tickets — live on Android and iPhone.

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.
Waypoint Heritage is the first expression of a wider idea. The long-term vision for Waypoint includes heritage, exploration, travel, local discovery, education and meaningful experiences — each guided by the same question: how does this help someone better understand the world around them?
