Augmented reality (AR) in exhibitions

Augmented reality (AR) in exhibitions enhances the physical environment by overlaying digital content—such as images, information, or animations—onto real-world objects viewed through smartphones, tablets, or AR glasses. This technology enriches visitor experience by providing immersive, interactive layers of information without replacing the actual exhibits. For example, a visitor might see a 3D reconstruction of ancient ruins or animated explanations over sculptures or artifacts. AR makes exhibitions more engaging and educational, allowing visitors to explore museums and galleries in innovative ways that blend the real and digital worlds seamlessly.
