Behind every piece of art is a multitude of stories. The Artifact App brings the stories behind artworks to life using augmented reality. It allows museum curators to enrich their exhibitions with digital content that is delivered via smartphones and tablets and is seamlessly blending into the physical surroundings of the displayed objects. In an interactive and playful way, the app complements the rich collections of glass art shown at the Vitromusée Romont with multimedia information such as images, audio, videos, animations and special effects.
