Augmented Reality Trail brief

Descriptions

We are tendering for a supplier or suppliers who can help create a fun and playful Augmented Reality experience for mobile devices, connecting our Museum and Gardens, encouraging exploration of the natural world through our collections and venue. The aim is to encourage an appreciation and exploration of nature, through our current and future values - to be fun, open, and welcoming. We would like to develop an AR environment and AR content to create Trails and treasure hunt type experience for the Nature + Love project, which we can continue to use to create new AR trails/markers with, in the future. This is aimed at family visitors, who will collect these AR creatures by proximity, and be able to create media (photos/video) for sharing with them. Detailed Platform, Content, Training and Future Requirements and information about our audiences are set out in the ITT. While we have done some scoping out of this project, we are also interested in hearing your creative ideas that can reach the audiences, achieving the same project aim and objectives.
