Augmented Reality Demo: Explore and Investigate Mysteries Beneath the Baptistery of San Giovanni
Make Your Visitor The Protagonist With Augmented Reality
Interactive digital media is no longer an afterthought. More museums are integrating a digital layer as part of their overall museum program. As a great article from The Verge said, "For many institutions, the digital revolution has required a complete rethinking of the museum model and a new digital mindset that filters through the entire operation."
At Guru, we work hard to incorporate museum digital layers for a seamless and impactful experience. Below, is an example of an augmented reality feature that Guru designed in tandem with the San Diego Museum of Art. The feature allows visitors to explore, investigate, and dive deeper into the preservation of a centuries-old landmark, the Baptistery of San Giovanni. In our AR feature, visitors can not only explore a 3D model of the baptistery, they can also probe the ground beneath the historical site. Using the investigate button and slider bars as forensic tools, visitors become an active part of uncovering new knowledge and learn about history at the same time. Watch the video below to see a demo!
