Let’s bring science, nature and culture to life with AR technology!
AR technology has advanced significantly over the past few years, making the jump from the gaming world to attractions and museums across the globe. Fun and engaging AR experiences can present information in a way that connects with visitors. Instead of presenting passive displays, the Leibniz Research Museums in their second cooperation with A MAZE. want to use this technology to allow visitors to participate and to make new connections as scenes come to life. In addition, they’d like to use this technology to provide context: to place objects in different locations, peeling back layers and telling their stories from new perspectives. The content can take the form of video, text, 3D images and more.
