A(R)dventure
How can AR enhance storytelling in museums?
A(R)dventures is the only Mixed Reality application in a museum worldwide using haptic exhibits to trigger and control holograms.
Facts about A(R)dventure
- 3 episodes about climate change in 3 rooms
- 18 exhibits on 200 m²
- 6 exhibits in each room
- 40 Microsoft HoloLenses
The rooms in A(R)dventure
- Every room has a different setting and therefore requires a different set of actions.
- To enable six visitors exploring one room in parallel it is divided in six exhibits.
- The interaction between the physical reality and the augmented reality results in a magical immersive experience that is quite unique.
