The main feature of the app is an interactive story-driven exhibition tour featuring Augmented Reality (AR) experiences and mini-games. You can witness terracotta warriors come to life at the exhibition (for example, shooting and reloading crossbows) via AR technology, which superimposes animated 3D objects into the real exhibition gallery space (2011).
Because the museum is so large, they designed an app that can give specific, turn-by-turn directions by GPS inside the museum (2011). First ever special exhibition tour has been built into Explorer, taking you through “Brain: The Inside Story.”
Augmented reality app lets you turn exhibits into 3D representations on your mobile device. You can also take pictures of items within the museum to unlock more content and simulations on your device (2011).
Enjoy interactive animations, photo galleries, and videos that reveal the beauty of this amazing natural phenomenon, how it works, and how scientists study it. Each chapter of the app, which is adapted from the iPad content featured throughout the exhibition gallery, is set to a symphonic soundtrack composed exclusively for Creatures of Light (2012).
You take a picture of yourself using your device’s built-in camera and can then convert that picture to make you look like an early species of human. The app also teaches you a little bit about human physiology (2011).
An interactive game where a colored chameleon has to battle the evil Dr. Grayscale. The game teaches about color theory and takes place against a backdrop of modern art (2011).
The app features over 250 works of art in high resolution,
commentary from curators and videos. The app presents the most important works of Italian Renaissance portraiture and visitors can use it as a guide to the exhibition.
Allows visitors to explore Van Gogh’s personal letters,
commentary, and early sketches while viewing his art to give more of a context and humanization to his work. It also offers some commentary on the art itself.
Gives users the ability to zoom in on various
famous art works with some commentary (2009).
This app is downloaded simultaneously with the
EyeTouch tour app. It creates a scavenger hunt for children by showing them a thumbnail of a piece of art that they then have to find in the museum. Once they find the artwork, there’s a brief commentary about the art piece that can be used to facilitate discussion between the child and adults in the museum (2011).
