The Project
Using the museum App at the Technical Museum in Vienna, visitors can choose one or more Points of Interest (POIs) on their phone. The interactive AR guide by the VIEWAR system will lead them to the destination. Once at the destination, the app offers information for interaction on the user’s smartphone display. This helps visitors create personalized tours or use already existing tours. With the help of augmented reality, the user can also see interactive content at the Point of Interest.
