Age of empires (original and rise of Rome) grew a deep interest in ancient cultures, particular the non-Roman empires. I played the game primarily for the competitive multiplayer. But the ancient cultures and way of life (and war) inspired the imagination. I still find ancient history the most interesting period.

There is a French startup called Opuscope (Minsar) which is producing AR & VR experience with various museum. I don't know how they're advancing because the founder don't speak to me anymore but the company seems doing well.
