Museum AR

A museum AR app for exhibits, galleries, and layered storytelling

ARLOOPA helps museums, galleries, and cultural venues add context without overcrowding the physical space. Visitors can scan artworks, posters, and exhibit labels or open location-based content during guided visits.

Teams can create this experience type in ARLOOPA Studio, publish it to the ARLOOPA app, and let users open it through the same viewing flow on mobile or headset devices.

Exhibit storytelling

Expand interpretation without filling the gallery with text

Museums often need to balance depth of interpretation with the physical simplicity of the exhibition space. ARLOOPA helps add that depth through scan-based layers, 3D reconstructions, and contextual storytelling.

Visitors can unlock additional explanation, animation, or digital restoration while the exhibit itself stays visually clean and accessible.

  • Support artworks, artifacts, labels, and temporary installations

  • Add digital interpretation without redesigning the whole exhibit

  • Create richer visitor journeys around selected objects

Visitor experience

Use the app for both indoor exhibit layers and outdoor cultural routes

ARLOOPA can support multiple museum-style formats inside one viewing app. A venue can use marker-based content in galleries and map-linked storytelling for outdoor heritage walks or public art routes.

That makes it practical for institutions that want one app path for both internal exhibits and wider cultural programming.

  • Useful for galleries, heritage sites, and public art trails

  • Support both permanent and temporary exhibitions

  • Blend exhibit interpretation with guided discovery

Create and Publish

Build this experience in ARLOOPA Studio

ARLOOPA is not only for viewing. Teams can create marker-based, markerless, and location-based experiences in ARLOOPA Studio, then publish them so users can open the result in the ARLOOPA app.

The same ecosystem supports both sides of the workflow: creator teams build and manage experiences in Studio, while end users discover and launch them in the ARLOOPA app.

1. Start in ARLOOPA Studio and choose the experience type you want to publish.

2. Build the scene, configure the trigger or placement mode, and publish for the ARLOOPA app.

3. Let users open the experience in the app through scanning, placement, location discovery, or shared links.
