Challenge
Cogniteq was approached by the Danish Museum to develop a VR app for both Android and iOS platforms. The museum's exhibitions often require additional context for visitors to fully understand the intention behind the displayed art pieces. Recognizing this, the museum sought an innovative solution to enhance the visitor experience and provide deeper insights into the exhibits.
To meet this need, the museum decided to create a VR app that would serve as a comprehensive guide, storing detailed information about the exhibitions, artworks, and their creators. The app allows visitors to explore the museum virtually, offering an immersive experience with interactive features. Through this VR app, users can access valuable information that would enrich their understanding and appreciation of the art on display.
Solution
The Cogniteq team developed a VR app that enables users to easily access detailed information about exhibits. By pointing their VR headset at any object, the app recognizes it and provides an explanatory video about the artist's concept. The app also includes information on the artists, their biographies, ideas, and artistic movements. The development process followed an iterative approach, with continuous testing and feedback from the museum to ensure a smooth user experience.
Usability and stable performance were key priorities. The app was optimized to run at 60 frames per second (FPS) on Samsung Gear VR, preventing VR motion sickness. A strong focus was also placed on sound design to enhance the immersive experience, delivering high-quality audio to enrich the user’s interaction with the exhibit.
Object Recognition and Information
Users simply point their VR headset at an exhibit, and the app automatically identifies the object, triggering an informative video about the artist’s concept.
Artist Profiles
The app contains detailed information about each artist, including their biography, creative ideas, and involvement in various artistic movements.
Iterative Development Process
We adopted an iterative approach, with daily testing and feedback from the museum to refine the app and introduce improvements quickly.
Stable Performance
The app delivers smooth performance, running at 60 FPS on Samsung Gear VR, which is crucial to avoid VR motion sickness and ensure a comfortable experience.
Immersive Sound Design
Sound design was carefully considered to enhance the user experience, providing an engaging and atmospheric environment for users as they explore the exhibits.
Continuous Improvement
Frequent updates and feature additions were made based on real-world testing, ensuring the app continuously met user needs and delivered a top-quality experience.
