Company Summary

38,000 museums face the same challenge; attracting visitors and maximizing revenues per visit, all against an ever-increasing range of alternatives from Netflix to bungee jumping. WG has partnered with augmented reality platform Blippar to create Museum Glasses on the Epson Moverio BT-200. Visitors will roam museums and, rather than using audio guides, be stimulated by jumping T-Rex’s in natural history museums and video clips in art galleries.
