On BavAR[t], three kind of contents can be visualized: the "3D creations", the "AR swipes" and finally the "Street Art". The 3D creations allow the player to visualize digital artworks, coming from 3D models or 3D scans. The Swipes provide 2D content (image) embedded in a 3D frame, visible in augmented reality, and on which the player can scroll the images by "swiping".

In addition to being fun for the players, BavAR[t] wants to be a reference platform for cultural institutions and artists wishing to promote their work. The objective is also to give them the opportunity to present their own content on the platform, so that they can easily offer an augmented reality experience to their visitors or customers, using their own artworks.
