Audio, AR, & Interactive Experiences

How do you encourage deeper visitor engagement?
By offering flexible audio formats, optional AR layers, and interactive play, institutions can invite deeper engagement without asking visitors to slow down, focus harder, or follow a prescribed path.
Use Cases

Turn passive visits into experiences visitors actively choose to explore

Design interactive experiences that invite curiosity, adapt to different visit styles, and keep visitors engaged — without overwhelming them.

Family & Youth Engagement

Offer age-appropriate audio and interactive formats that support shared experiences across mixed-age groups, keeping engagement flexible and self-paced.

Special Exhibitions

Layer interpretation without altering physical displays, creating memorable moments tied to specific objects or spaces while inviting optional deep dives.

Repeat Visitors

Refresh engagement through evolving content that encourages exploration through play and discovery, rewarding curiosity without turning learning into a task.

Educational
& School Groups

Support guided learning with audio, interactive challenges, and optional AR that reinforce key themes while allowing educators and students to engage at their own pace.

Audio and AR, proven on site

Whitney Plantation used a Guru audio tour app to keep welcoming visitors when guided tours stopped, and SDMA uses augmented reality to bring artworks to life, allowing visitors to explore deeper into thier stories. Read more about them below.
