The Challenge

A major European capital’s tourism office needed an interactive alternative to printed guidebooks and plaques — something that could layer historical context directly onto real landmarks and stay accurate over time without reprinting anything.

Our Approach

Combining GPS and camera-based recognition meant the app could confirm a user was actually looking at a landmark, not just near one, before triggering the 3D overlay. Content updates through the cloud so historical information and 3D models can be corrected or expanded without an app-store release, and the landmark models were built to a level of detail that holds up next to the real structures.

Key Features

  • Map-based navigation to discover AR experiences across the city
  • GPS and camera-based location AR content
  • Cloud content delivery for always-current information
  • Detailed 3D landmark models

Outcome

Built for tourism boards and city cultural offices that want an interactive alternative to a printed guidebook or plaque.
