Smart AR Museum Guides

Two augmented reality guides built for an exhibition to tell the story of art hanging on the wall in an architectural museum

Problem:

Museums often offer self-service guides, such as written descriptions or audio guides, for visitors to provide an overview of what a specific artwork is about. However, these guides lack a way to link between what is presented in them and the actual artwork, and therefore it can be challenging to know which part of the artwork is being referred to. 

Task:

Use smartphones and Espon Moverio smart glasses to create an augmented reality modern state of the art guide. The guides had four main features:

• Tell stories of the art hanging on the wall
• Pointing arrow that shows where to look during the story
• Users can select content in the exhibit to learn about
• A game to allow users to play with exhibit

Experience used:

UX/UI design, Graphic design, Project Planning, Development and User testing.
