MUSEAR
AR and location-based audio for Nepal's museums
About this project
Many exhibits in Nepal's museums, such as the Patan Museum, come with little explanation, and what there is can be hard to follow for visitors who don't read the local languages. The team framed five problems: missing information, limited space beside each object, language barriers, information overload and static displays.
museAR was our concept for a phone guide that plays audio stories as you move through a museum, overlays reconstructions and imagery on exhibits in AR, and offers several languages and themed tours. It was a university team project of four, built with Unity and Vuforia, and I worked on the idea, led the team, and did design and frontend.
It received an award at KU Hackfest, and I hold the certificate.
