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.

  • Photogrammetry scans
  • Postcard designs

Audiences

Worth knowing before you write a brief

AppsFlyer's 2025 benchmark across 28 billion installs puts Day-1 retention at around 25%. AR apps sit below that floor, because every reviewer is a single-use case, not a habit. WebAR removes the funnel. The link that opened the experience the first time still opens it the second.
