MuseoLens: Enhancing Museum Accessibility

Problem Statement

The current museum visitor experience is often characterized by static information, limited interactivity, and a fragmented approach to digital engagement, leading to a less immersive and personalized cultural exploration. This traditional model fails to fully leverage modern technological advancements to deepen understanding, foster dynamic learning, and provide a consistent, engaging platform across diverse cultural institutions.

My Solution

My aim with MuseoLens is to fundamentally transform the museum visitor experience. This innovative Augmented Reality (AR) mobile application tackles static information, limited interactivity, and fragmented digital tools head- on by offering a universal platform for cultural exploration. I plan to achieve this through interactive AR overlays, AI-powered conversational learning (via Large Language Models), and engaging gamified experiences.
