The application aims not only to educate the users about the exhibitions and artifacts on display at the museums but also to promote accessibility and inclusivity. Augmented Reality based features are incorporated to make every museum visit highly immersive, engaging, and interactive for the visitors. This application can be downloaded on different smart devices like a Smartphone and Tablets and can be used remotely.
