Summer of AR
Four outstanding examples of cultural institutions putting augmented reality to work.
The Guru-Powered Space Center Houston Mobile Tour Has Launched!
We're proud to share the launch of the Space Center Houston interactive mobile tour. It's one of our favorite projects to date, and it gives visitors plenty to explore:
Location-Aware Audio Tour
Interactive augmented reality experiences
Exclusive Space Center Houston videos
GPS-enabled maps
Daily and special events calendar with built-in notifications
Space Center Houston selfie filters
Virtual Reality Lite experiences
As they walk through the center, visitors learn some amazing facts about space exploration history, as well as what is currently happening in manned space exploration and what is planned for the future. Like, how did the American grandfather of rocket science, Robert Goddard, get kicked out of his hometown? Why did early astronauts bring water guns to space? And why is there so much Velcro on the International Space Station?
With the Space Center Houston mobile tour, visitors can explore the Moon, watch the Saturn V launch, and more, all with the power of augmented reality. They can even bring Space Center Houston home through Virtual Visits.
Wayfinding and GPS-enabled map technology allow visitors to find everything from Martian rocks to spacecraft to bathrooms.
Visitors can see themselves as astronauts with the help of Space Center Houston’s selfie filters.
With up-to-date event notifications and calendars, visitors will know about every tour, demonstration, speaker, or special event at Space Center Houston.
Wondering what a location-aware audio tour might look like at your own institution? We're always glad to talk it through — you can reach us at solutions@guruexperience.co.
