Ratings and reviews

Downloaded this in an attempt to see the enhanced reality animation that was supposed to go along with the expensive cocktail that I bought, but it didn't work. I wasn't able to get it to work with any of the exhibits, but this may have been due to a lack of clear instruction from Artechouse staff and the app instead of app functionality itself. The photo I took had the "point at a marker" overlay right in the center, making the camera useless. It also crashed constantly and overheated my phone.

Looks like it was created in a day. They recommend installing this app but do not provide WiFi which means you have to waste data on an app that may not even open. You also need to install Google's AR core app in conjunction to this app so it can work. You are suppose to scan specific pictures to make this app work but there were very few locations we found that actually utilized this feature and it added very little to the experience in general.

I tried to order a cocktail at artechouse during an exhibition. Apparently I had to use this app for that. The app did not work, so the waitress showed me the app on her phone so that I could see the menu. It was very hard to read it because of bad visual effects. I just wanted to order a drink!

What's new

The entire app got a refreshed UI and updated UX for a more intuitive experience. The new version has a more stable marker tracking and a new render pipeline for better graphic performance.
