Augmented Reality Guided Art Gallery Tour

An Augmented Reality Guided Tour for Art

Another Reality Studio developed an Augmented Reality (AR) guided tour for an art gallery. The downloadable mobile application features a digital coyote that guides patrons through an art exhibit. Moreover, the application features location tracking and seamless interactions with the artwork.

The client required an interactive AR experience to guide visitors on a path through the exhibit. ARS used augmented reality (AR) to interact with the artwork and guide users on a gallery journey. In other words, this custom app allows users to see a virtual coyote in the real world..

Key Features of the Augmented Reality Guided Tour

• Firstly, the virtual coyote was created for realism to guide a tour and interact with exhibits
• Secondly, the app consists of an AR option to view the coyote from anywhere in the gallery. As a result, the AR coyote shows the desired path of viewing the gallery
• Thirdly, the app recognizes a physical image on the gallery floor to calibrate the scene and give the coyote the fixed path to start
• Moreover, the app is an easy to use mobile AR app with tutorial that educates users on how to interact with the augmented reality tour
• Once selected, the camera opens for scanning the gallery image on ground (if In Gallery is selected)
• Once recognized, the coyote will appear and begin moving throughout the space on a fixed path while integrating animations

Challenges and Core Considerations

• The Another Reality Studio project manager began the project with concept evaluation and feasibility. Moreover, they collaborated with the client on user design, estimating, and planning to create project milestones and a timeline for completion.
• The client asked ARS to develop an application that created a digital tour of the art gallery. That is to say, the tour was meant to be experienced in a certain order with a fun way to move users in the preferred direction to experience the art

Augmented Reality Guided Tour Impact: The ARS Solution

• In conclusion, ARS created a custom application that runs on mobile applications. As a result, this application allows the art gallery to give each user in an immersive and memorable way to tour the art gallery
