Augmented Museum Tours
Exhibitions enriched with contextual AR — reconstructions, animations and stories that bring artefacts and spaces to life on a visitor’s phone.
Holosplash builds app-less augmented reality museum tours that enrich exhibitions with context, reconstruction and story. A scan opens an experience in the browser — see an artefact restored, a ruin rebuilt, or a hidden layer revealed — so visitors engage deeply on their own phones, with nothing to download.
Context, brought to life
A label can only say so much. AR lets a visitor see an artefact in use, a fragment made whole, or a scene reconstructed around them, turning information into experience. It deepens understanding without crowding the gallery with screens.
Your visitors’ phones, no kiosks
Because the tour is app-less and runs on visitors’ own devices, there is no hardware to buy, clean or maintain and no app to persuade people to install. It scales to any number of visitors at no extra cost per head.
Accessible and multilingual
AR tours can offer content in multiple languages and support accessibility, widening who can engage with the collection. The same scan can serve an international audience.
Accurate reconstruction
Holosplash’s engineering-led approach means careful, accurate 3D reconstruction and representation, working with curators to respect the material. The scholarship leads; the technology serves it.
Measurable engagement
Every scan is tracked, so a museum can see which exhibits draw the most engagement and report impact to funders. Content updates centrally as exhibitions change, with no reprinting.

The basics
What are augmented museum tours? +
Augmented museum tours are exhibition experiences enriched with augmented reality, so that scanning an exhibit opens contextual 3D content — reconstructions, animations or stories — in the browser. They turn static displays into interactive, informative experiences.

Why use AR in a museum? +
You use AR in a museum because it conveys context that labels can’t — showing artefacts in use, ruins rebuilt or processes in motion — and engages visitors actively. It enriches the visit without filling the space with screens.

What makes Holosplash’s museum tours different? +
Holosplash’s museum tours are different because they are app-less, accurately reconstructed in collaboration with curators, multilingual-capable and fully tracked. Visitors use their own phones and scholarship leads the content.

Are augmented museum tours worth it? +
Augmented museum tours are worth it when engagement, accessibility and impact reporting matter, because they enrich the visit at no per-visitor hardware cost. Analytics also help demonstrate value to funders and stakeholders.

App-less & WebAR
Do visitors need an app for the tour? +
No — visitors do not need an app for the tour; it opens in the browser from a scan. Removing the download is essential when most visitors won’t install anything for a single visit.

How do visitors start an exhibit experience? +
Visitors start an exhibit experience by scanning a code or the exhibit with their phone camera, after which the content opens in the browser. It is one tap from a label to a living explanation.

Does it work across iOS and Android? +
Yes — augmented museum tours work across iOS and Android from one build, so any visitor can take part. There are no separate apps to maintain.

Exhibits & content
What can an AR exhibit experience show? +
An AR exhibit experience can show reconstructions, artefacts in use, animations of processes, hidden details, and narrated stories layered onto the display. The content is shaped to the curatorial goal.
