The major challenge of this project was that our team had to take every element from realistic models of animals and authentically create a visualization that matched the actual models. We had to find a way to incorporate AR technology in practice that the visitor would gain a new level of experience in a more interactive, engaging and educational way.
Our solution was an AR app that, after scanning the AR mark on selected animals, a digital layer revealing the muscular system and skeleton is displayed in the application. These expansion layers are calibrated to the physical exhibit, creating an immersive impression. The app includes game elements that encourage visitors to search for virtual puzzle pieces and thus unlock other functionalities (especially the ability to place the 3D model freely in any real space, i.e., outside the exhibition space).
