Work That Delivers More Than Attention.

Every Digital Turtles project starts with a challenge and works towards a measurable outcome.

Explore the strategies, campaigns, content, and digital experiences we have created to build awareness, reach the right people, increase engagement, generate leads, and create stronger brand connections.

Sri Lanka’s First Interior VR with Ceylon Furniture

Project · Emerging Technology

VR Production · 3D Modelling · Interior Visualisation · Experience Design · Digital Strategy · Customer Experience Technology

The Challenge

Buying furniture online or from a showroom requires customers to imagine how individual pieces will look inside their own homes. Differences in room size, layout, style and colour can create uncertainty and slow down purchasing decisions.

What We Did

Digital Turtles developed an immersive furniture visualisation experience that enabled prospective customers to explore furniture arrangements and assess how products could complement different interior spaces.

The experience combined furniture assets, three-dimensional environments and interactive visualisation to move the customer journey beyond static product photography.

The Result

The project gave customers a more personalised way to explore Ceylon Furniture’s products and positioned the brand as an early adopter of immersive retail technology.

Cyber Hero

Project · Game Development

Game Strategy · Game Design · Mobile Development · 3D Development · Educational Content · Digital Safety · Partnership Management

The Challenge

Cybersecurity concepts such as phishing, malware, password safety and privacy breaches can be difficult for young people to understand through conventional awareness materials.

The project needed to transform digital-safety education into a practical, engaging and culturally relevant experience for teenagers, young people and marginalized communities.

What We Did

Digital Turtles, through its female-led game development arm WhimsicalWits, designed and developed Cyber Hero, a free educational 3D mobile game.

The game uses interactive scenarios to help players recognise and respond to common online threats. WhimsicalWits led the game design and development, while Digitally Right of Bangladesh developed the narrative for young South Asian audiences.

The project was delivered with Internews under the Protecting Online Rights of Changemakers initiative and supported through U.S. Embassy funding.

The Result

Cyber Hero was officially launched at the American Center in Colombo and made freely available through Google Play.

The project created a scalable digital-learning tool that makes cybersecurity education more accessible through gameplay and demonstrated how regional partnerships can combine technology, education and digital rights.

Digital VR Awurudu Gammanaya with Dialog

Project · Immersive Activation

VR Production · 3D Environment Development · Experience Design · Cultural Storytelling · Event Activation · Technology

The Challenge

Dialog wanted to connect the traditions of the Sinhala and Tamil New Year with younger, digitally engaged audiences through an experience that went beyond a conventional festival activation.

The challenge was to preserve the cultural familiarity of an Awurudu village while presenting its traditions and games through immersive technology.

What We Did

Dialog Axiata, in collaboration with our group studio Anthem Studios, launched an immersive VR Awurudu experience at Colombogama in Viharamahadevi Park.

The project recreated the character of a traditional Sinhala and Tamil New Year village inside an interactive virtual environment, allowing visitors to engage with cultural settings, traditions and games through VR technology.

The Result

The activation introduced a technology-led way for visitors—particularly younger audiences—to experience and reconnect with New Year traditions.

It demonstrated how immersive environments can extend a physical brand activation and transform cultural storytelling into an interactive public experience.

Joseph Fraser Ninewells — VR Healthcare Experience

Project · Healthcare Experience

VR Strategy · Healthcare Experience Design · 3D Environment Development · Meta Quest Development · UX · Patient Education

The Challenge

Expectant mothers and families can feel uncertain about an unfamiliar hospital environment, particularly when preparing for consultations, admission and childbirth.

Joseph Fraser Ninewells needed a more immersive way to introduce its environment, facilities and patient journey before a physical hospital visit.

What We Did

Digital Turtles developed the concept and experience flow for a Meta Quest 3-based healthcare VR journey.

The planned experience followed a virtual patient avatar through key stages of the hospital journey, including:

  • Arrival at the hospital
  • Entrance and orientation
  • Exploration of suites and patient facilities
  • A consultation experience
  • Guided interaction within the virtual environment
  • Patient-focused storytelling designed to build familiarity and confidence

The Result

The project created the foundation for an immersive patient-orientation experience that could help families understand the hospital journey in a more engaging and reassuring way.

ProgrammesBuilt and run by Digital Turtles

Creator Incubator

Programme

Programme Strategy · Creator Training · Digital Storytelling · Mentorship · Community Building · Multilingual Content · Grant Management

The Challenge

Sri Lanka’s emerging content creators needed more than technical tutorials. They required structured training, mentorship, practical guidance and early financial support to develop sustainable, socially relevant digital content.

The programme also needed to make creator development accessible across Sinhala, Tamil and English-speaking communities.

What We Did

Digital Turtles created Creator Incubator as a startup-incubator-style empowerment programme for content creators.

The programme included:

  • Online workshops in English, Sinhala and Tamil
  • Livestreamed learning through Zoom, Facebook and YouTube
  • Assessments and participant selection
  • In-person workshops
  • Mentorship
  • Creator community development
  • A USD 200 microgrant for selected participants
  • Training in content creation, storytelling and digital growth

The Result

Digital Turtles’ official programme page reports that Creator Incubator empowered 100 creators through training and mentoring, with grants provided to support their content production.

The initiative created a repeatable model for combining creator education, mentorship, community development and micro-financing.

The programme was first launched in 2022 and later expanded to support creators in the Central Province.

Digital Journalism Academy

Programme · with the Australian Government

Programme Strategy · Journalism Training · Digital Storytelling · Mentorship · Curriculum Development · Event Production · Partnership Management

The Challenge

Early-career journalists and content creators needed practical training that connected the principles of ethical journalism with the tools, formats and audience behaviours shaping modern digital media.

The programme needed to strengthen credible public-interest storytelling while helping participants work confidently across emerging platforms and production workflows.

What We Did

Digital Turtles designed and organised a free eight-month training programme with support from the Australian Government.

The Digital Journalism Academy combines:

  • Ethical journalism
  • Modern digital storytelling
  • News research and verification
  • Multimedia production
  • Platform-focused content
  • Mentoring
  • Practical assignments
  • Public-interest story development
  • Online learning and in-person workshops

The Result

A mid-programme workshop brought participants together at Shangri-La Colombo for practical sessions on modern media, digital storytelling and the future of journalism.

The Academy established a structured learning pathway for aspiring journalists and digital creators and created opportunities for participants to develop credible, relevant and practically produced public-interest stories.

Women in Motion

Programme · with the U.S. Embassy

Programme Strategy · 3D Animation Training · Game Development Training · Mentorship · Gender Inclusion · Partnership Management

The Challenge

Women remain underrepresented in animation, game development and other creative technology sectors. Aspiring participants needed accessible technical training, mentorship and clearer pathways into industries where female representation remains limited.

What We Did

Digital Turtles, in partnership with the U.S. Embassy, launched Women in Motion as a capacity-building initiative across Colombo, Kandy and Matara.

The programme provided training in 3D animation and game development while promoting gender-inclusive storytelling and increasing the visibility of women’s perspectives within creative technology.

The Result

Women in Motion created new learning and mentorship pathways for women interested in animation, game development and digital industries.

The initiative also connected technical training with a wider goal: enabling more women to participate in and lead the development of digital stories and creative experiences.
