In the age of digitalization, modern museums are increasingly relying on innovative technologies to offer their visitors a richer experience. An outstanding example of this is the AR-Explorer app used in the ‘Domschatz Minden’. Historical artifacts such as the famous Minden Cross are presented in a completely new light.
The Minden Cross in augmented reality
The AR Explorer technology transforms the classic museum visit into an interactive experience. When the Minden Cross is pointed at with the app, the object is immediately recognized and a digital information panel opens automatically. With a simple tap on “AR content”, a world full of detailed information opens up, and what makes this technology particularly valuable is the ability to navigate to different positions on the exhibit and explore specific details. For example, visitors can not only view the inscriptions on the cross, but also learn their meaning - a level of understanding that would be almost impossible to achieve with conventional information boards.
Added value for museums and visitors
The AR Explorer app goes far beyond the possibilities of analog information transfer. The user interface is intuitively designed. Info boxes can be closed manually or change automatically when new object points are targeted.
This context-related communication enables more complex presentations of exhibits. Without overloading the space with too many text panels. For visitors, this means a personalized museum experience where they can decide for themselves how deeply they want to immerse themselves in the history and meaning of an object.
