Dine with Sisi: AR at the Sisi Museum, Vienna
Sisi Museum, Hofburg Vienna
During renovation works the Sisi Museum in the Hofburg lost access to part of its display, and turned that into the project: the imperial family dinners were reconstructed as an augmented reality scene that visitors open by scanning a QR code and pointing the camera at a star symbol. Historians checked every detail of the composition, so the AI assisted image work stayed historically accurate rather than decorative. The museum team and the production team both explain how it was built.
Outcome: 50 percent of visitors used the AR experience, a rate the museum reports as far above expectation.
