AR digitally transforms museum with building tracking
Museum uses augmented reality to show exhibition information using the building façade.
THE COMPANY
The mumok is a museum of modern art located in the Museumsquartier in Vienna, Austria. Its striking dark grey cuboid building structure, clad in basalt stone, houses an unusual collection featuring important works from Classic Modernism, Pop Art, Fluxus, Viennese Actionism, present-day film, and media art.THE GOAL
- Innovatively inform visitors about museum exhibitions
THE SOLUTION
AR app: mumokAR [ Google Play – App Store ] mumokAR is a mixed reality app that lets users experience and interact with the transformation of the main museum building. During this process, the building transforms in a gigantic urban stage and several sequences playfully reveal museum-related content and information regarding existing and upcoming exhibitions. Interaction through tapping on moving objects further reveals surprises to the users.

“With the company’s architectural background our desire is to bring augmented reality into the urban environment. We are excited about the possibility that every built object has its own digital reality. With that in mind we don’t want to be limited by physical scale (or small object trackers). Luckily, Wikitude offers Scene Tracking, a unique technology that allows us to take these first steps into a new and exciting mixed reality.”
