01 Problem
Problem
The museum association wanted a simple portable way to make collection objects feel tangible outside the display case.
02 Approach
Approach
We 3D scanned museum items, prepared them for AR, and used the Zappar app to place each object on its postcard with short annotations.
03 Outcome
Outcome
- Collection objects became portable miniature AR artifacts.
- The postcard format worked as both print material and digital trigger.
- The project captured an early moment in app-based museum AR before WebAR was mature.
