ArtQuest

an app that transforms the museum experience into a personalized, interactive scavenger hunt

ArtQuest is a mobile app designed to enhance the museum experience by allowing visitors to complete a short survey to indicate their preferences and interests. Based on their responses, the app recommends a selection of artworks to discover through a scavenger hunt format. Users can open the camera view within the app to scan each artwork, utilizing image recognition technology to verify their find before unlocking and displaying relevant information about the piece. ArtQuest aims to make art more accessible and engaging, helping visitors of diverse backgrounds and knowledge levels discover, appreciate, and learn about art in a personalized and interactive manner.

Built using Swift (ARKit), Python, and JavaScript
