Don’t bother
I was super-excited to see that the ARTECHOUSE had an XR app when we visited the DC location in March 2025. Unfortunately, it didn’t work on either mine or my husband’s phone. We even have different phones. I even bought a postcard from the little gift shop/lobby area that has embedded XR. App doesn’t work on that, either.

Didn’t work in houston
Visited artechouse in houston, and tried it several places. When carefully positioned over a symbol, a black hole would appear with spinning planets in it, but it was the same thing everywhere, and even a slight phone motion killed it. No actual ar at all we could find. The museum otself was a lot of fun.

Was absolutely not worth the cash
Wanted a couple fun Instagram pictures and hoped the exhibit would be a fun walk for the price. We went during the cool blue period and it was super boring. The app barely worked and it was barely worth it. Don’t wast your cash.
No audio in saved videos
I used this app to record videos of the experience and to save them, since the feature is provided IN the app itself. Upon saving my videos to my phone, NONE OF THEM HAD AUDIO. 😒
I don't understand how Artechouse can be so detailed and elaborate in their exhibits, but have an app that won't save audio. Extremely disappointed as the person who I went with, and it was their first time going, wanted the recording of themself. But it's useless without the sound.

Extended Reality from home
Incredible augmented reality and extended reality experiences from home. This has been an awesome app to play around with and experience artechouse during quarantine.
Didn’t save any of my pictures
The app allowed me to see the AR effects but the “save to gallery” option didn’t save ANY of my photos.
Super fun!
Definitely download if you’re going to the AMAZEBALLS museum. If it’s not supported on your phone, they typically have iPads or something you can borrow so you can see the augmented reality stuff. But by having it yourself, you can take pics. PS: Artechouse is the most amazing museum I’ve ever been to. Been to every installation at least once (some 5 times) in the last year and a half.

Main room
Make sure you sit down on those lovely seats and open the app. You can feed the creatures while touching the screen. I made them go left and right while other people were moving in front of the screen. It’s a fun experience to have.
Buying drinks should be easy
The DC Fractal Worlds exhibit was amazing! But... my wife and I tried to order drinks and the bartender insisted we download the app to see the menu. After several minutes of frustration with the app we gave up on having drinks altogether. When poor app design prevents a venue from selling drinks something is very wrong...

Don’t bother: Needs some work
Honestly, don’t bother with this app while in the gallery. The exhibit is very cool, and the app doesn’t add much to the experience.
This app looks like it was designed for some other phone (Android?). It barely works at any of the activation points at the gallery. When it does work, it’s okay, but only for a few seconds. I hope that with some of Apple’s AR kit frameworks, this app can see some real improvement soon. For now, don’t bother.

Black screen, no image
Last version worked, but now all I get is a black screen when I try I look at a target. Not good.
Didn’t work, black screen for augmented reality
App didn’t work at all for its main purpose, the augmented reality. When trying to use the feature it only showed a blank black screen instead of my camera view. Considering I paid money for my tickets and wasn’t able to fully enjoy the exhibit with all its features, I’m disappointed.
Iphone X problem
hi this app is currently not working right on iphone x, the whole screen is too zoomed in on menus and camera is just black.
No worky. Booooo
Went to Sakura show. It didn’t work. My friend’s did
This ish doesn’t work
We could not get this app to work literally a single time in Artechouse. Nothing.
iPhone X
Needs to update. Does not display correctly.
True Art+Tech Experience w/ Augmented Reality
Excited for this new addition to Artechouse program and experiences. Now when you visit Artechouse or see anywhere the logo you are in for an Augmented Reality treat and a truly immersive experience. And the first cocktail featuring AR experience is definitely a must. The app is also very clean and easy in navigation. In addition to the AR feature it also keeps an up to date schedule on all the exhibits/installation.
