The Digital Lab for Islamic Visual Culture & Collections (DLIVCC) helps museums and creative studios build public-facing experiences and worlds inspired by Islamic art, architecture, and history. Founded by Dr. Glaire Anderson, we're a purpose-led business that pairs specialist expertise with a proven track record in museum and gallery advisory, and in AAA and indie game development.
For studios, we translate historical and cultural complexity into clear, prioritised guidance and validated authentic inspiration.
For museums and cultural institutions, we translate collections and scholarship for the public, widening reach without compromising historical accuracy. Sensing Heritage is a new initiative co-developed by Dr. Glaire Anderson and transmedia director and author Chris Solarski/ Solarski Studio. It creates playful, embodied encounters with museum collections.
We're known for our work on Assassin's Creed Mirage (Ubisoft, 2023) and its educational Codex feature, the 'History of Baghdad'. That feature now reaches the public directly: it's freely available in Ubisoft's Discovery Tour Medieval Baghdad (2025) mobile and web apps for ages 12+, bringing medieval Islamic art and history to wide audiences worldwide. It's a working model of what cultural institutions and studios can build together.

“It felt on paper like it could be a great partnership opportunity. Then from the first calls, we quickly realized that you had a great personality and that it would be great to collaborate with you on a daily basis… that’s what really made us want to move forward.”

"In addition to providing intensive seminars on medieval Islamic art to the Ubisoft in-house history team, Glaire and her students contributed directly to this [educational Codex] feature, reviewing texts and suggesting illustrations from museum collections."
