Artifact vs Artverse

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.

Artverse is an application that collects and offers augmented reality (AR) experiences from a wide range of cultural institutions. The app provides a direct interaction with the work and thus creates a personal connection to art and culture. A multimedia guide with new dimensions! The app is used in various museums in Switzerland and enriches culture with AR content. In addition to tours in museums, the app also offers playful access to art in outdoor spaces. For example, the tour «Art Catch», developed together with the city of Winterthur, brings artworks in public spaces in Winterthur to life.
