Hearts of Oak is the new digital theatre installation, presented across 11 scenes in and around the Historic Dockyard Buildings in Chatham, England, the workshop for the British naval fleet for 300 years. Visitors now engage in a 30 minute scripted storyline where they follow actual historic characters, such as retired shipwright John North, as he explores the dockyards and the process of warship design and build with his grandson. Projected at 1:1 scale they encounter a range of dockyard workers, graphically augmented setworks, the Mould Loft where ships such as HMS Victory were drawn out on the timber floor and even a fully fledged battle sequence.
