eleanor of castile ai leeds castle 2752385

Leeds Castle has launched an interactive AI avatar of Eleanor of Castile as the centerpiece of its new exhibition, "Pilgrimage of Love: Eleanor of Castile." Developed in collaboration with SKC Studios, the digital queen is housed in a screen shaped like a lancet window and is programmed to recognize visitors and answer questions about her life, from her 13th-century architectural projects to her marriage to Edward I. The exhibition traces her transformation of the castle from a Norman stronghold into a royal residence with Moorish-inspired gardens.
