The audio or multimedia tour is a classic means of sending information. There is nothing wrong with that, but nowadays there are so many other possibilities. Several guest speakers called for looking beyond the world of art too. I could not agree more! I envisage many possibilities for new forms of technology.
Take Pokémon Go, for instance. The game sensation was immensely popular and introduced millions of people to augmented reality* in one go. This technology is also suitable for museums, because with a mobile device like smartphone or tablet:
This broken vase is undamaged again, the figures hidden underneath the top layer of paint smile at you again, you are spoken to by a guide of your choosing, etc.
Virtual reality* also offers many possibilities:
elderly people can visit museums (virtually) from the comfort of their home, works of art can be viewed in their original context, marriage portraits from two different collections can be shown side by side, etc.
At TinQwise, we believe that learning can also be fun. With new technologies, such as augmented or virtual reality, you can create unique learning experiences that will happily surprise your target group. Which story do you want to tell?
