• Problem

    Design a museum exhibit so that visitors can get an engaging and educational experience across several media platforms. As a team, come up with the museum name and style. Create each exhibition individually.

  • Solution

    Augmented Reality is the topic of this exhibition, which is part of a museum with other exhibitions revolving technology. The goal of this museum and exhibition is to showcase how technology can improve everyday life. This exhibition was named Expand Reality, because what augmented reality does, is indeed expand our reality. Expand Reality was designed using a modern and minimal design language with a heavy focus on AR interaction. This also helps keep the futuristic and modern feel of the museum as a whole.
