Attracting new visitors is becoming more and more challenging. Museums play an important role when it comes to education and entertainment. Mixed reality technologies such as augmented (AR) and virtual reality (VR) can help visitors to enjoy both.
Augmented reality for museums opens up an immersive world of interactive experiences by adding digital content (videos, audios, text, 3D models, animations, etc.) to the existing environment. Visitors can use their own smartphone or tablet to see an altered version of reality.
AR can provide additional information to an exhibit or guide the user through the museum with the help of indoor navigation technology.
