Nova's Quest vs RDW

Come to the Maps Museum and help Nova journey back home. She needs you to solve the augmented reality puzzles to find her way back. The Maps Museum in Bucharest invites you to discover its collection of old and rare maps through the augmented reality application "Nova's Quest". Inside the museum, the app will connect you with Nova, an interstellar traveler, who can travel through time using augmented reality technology. She needs your help to escape from a space-time loop. To help Nova, you need to find the maps and clues that will help her decrypt the code fragments needed to open a portal through which she can continue her exploration. Look for the necessary clues on each floor of the museum and help Nova continue her journey. The "Nova's Quest" app will help you discover the Museum of Maps and the extraordinary stories behind these maps through augmented reality. This application was developed through DOORS — Digital Incubator for Museums, a project funded by the Horizon 2020 program, the European Union's research and innovation program.

RDW app helps users navigate through the Romanian Design Week festival’s schedule, allowing them to filter the events part of the program by date or event typology. Users can find details about the events, save on their agenda their favorite events, see them located on the festival map and get directions. Romanian Design Week festival takes place this year between May 24 and June 2 in the former CINA restaurant building (10 Benjamin Franklin Street). The 2024 edition of Romanian Design Week aims to investigate the methods by which creativity and innovation can shape the cities of tomorrow and also contribute to the exploration of Bucharest and the discovery of its potential and layers, creative spaces in the city, and the organizations or cultural projects that animate and define them. The edition invites Bucharest citizens to discover the creative particularity of certain city areas, to discover unique design projects and multidisciplinary approaches, and to contribute to defining spaces for dialogue, thus demonstrating the importance of collective imagination processes and co-creation of a more friendly city.  The general theme of the RDW2024 festival aims to contribute to reconnecting Bucharest citizens to the city and especially to its communities, rediscovered from the perspective of the potential of local creative industries.
