An AR solution that adds a new layer of depth to exploring Stockholm’s most visited museum, with multiple overlays enriching the visitor experience
Informational Overlay allows visitors to learn about the ship’s details and history without taking their eyes off it
AR solution we offer
The way the ship has been preserved — keeps huge amount of it’s detail intact and worth exploring.
This AR functionality welcomes the visitor to find points of interest placed all over the ship’s gorgeous exterior and learn about every aspect of it.
Current solution
Existing solution offers a simple interactive scheme on the visitor’s phone screen, accessible via a QR scan.
We find this approach outdated and less contextual, as it takes the visitor’s eyes off the ship.
Colorful Overlay — restores the ship’s original appearance, revealing each detail in vivid, authentic color for a fuller understanding of its design
AR solution we offer
The ship, once full of bright and vibrant colors, now lost its original features.
But with AR visitors can bring the colors back to the stern, sculptures, latches and other rich details
Current solution
Existing solutions in the museum offer recreated sculptures standing separately, projection onto the bas-relief of the stern on the wall and a painted scale model.
These are great ways of achieving what’s possible with traditional approaches but AR wins by the visual clarity and context it gives the user.
Recreation Overlay uses AR’s superpower to restore missing parts — like the sails and full-height masts for the ship.
AR solution we offer
Although the ship is remarkably well preserved, some parts of it are missing.
AR is the perfect solution here — it allows visitors to see, for example, the sails catching wind not only where and how they once were, but in an animated and interactive way.
Narrative Overlay immerses the visitor in a historical context and shows a piece of its former history
AR solution we offer
The Vasa warship sank because it took on a lot of water through the cannon ports just before it was ready for its first broadside, timed with the ceremonial launch.
With AR, visitors can virtually witness that moment in all its power.
With this proof-of-concept project, we are sharing our vision of how any museum can benefit from implementing AR overlays, welcoming visitors to a new way ofexploring the exhibits
