How Museums are using Augmented Reality

When designing the interface for the MeseumMate App, I started with sketches and then moved on to designing the final design interface.

I have considered the MuseumMate Feature and adding into my design:

AR for viewing 3D texts and combined with a smartwatch for visual control.
Voice playback of artefact texts, with options to expand and large texts.

_{Byrne (2012) claims that: “_{Defining the place of the voice in translating museum artefacts led to reflections on more complex issues about how meaning is ascribed to objects, since the way people engage with objects goes well beyond their materiality. There is a part of human history that depends on orality and that cannot be found through objects or texts: the voice translates issues of identity, memory, language, gender and creates discourse in specific ways}“}

3. Ability to draw using the smartwatch, along with recommendations of similar artefacts based on the line and colour of the elderly drawing.

4. Navigation to desired exhibition areas with personalized route generation, and integration with the smartwatch for enhanced safety while navigating stairs

5. Ability to check the smartwatch’s battery level, and set up emergency contacts and medication reminders

6. Voice control capabilities for the software’s functions, making it more convenient for elderly visitors to operate.

7. Facial recognition login allows elderly visitors to access the system without needing to remember a password

8. Personalized adjustments of privacy and security settings, such as camera activation and location tracking, to ensure the data safety of the elderly user
