Features & Capabilities

The Spiders Augmented Reality app serves as the official companion to the Australian Museum’s touring Spiders exhibition. Utilizing cutting-edge Augmented Reality (AR) technology, the app allows users to view scientifically accurate 3D spider models in their surroundings by scanning exhibition posters, outdoor markers, and image tokens. Featuring creatures such as the St Andrews Cross Spider, Queensland Whistling Tarantula, Redback Spider, and the colorful Peacock Spider, it brings the fascinating world of spiders to life on your mobile device.

For visitors in North America, the app offers exclusive spiders like the Banded Garden Spider and Desert Blonde Tarantula, enriching the exhibition experience. Users are encouraged to share their AR encounters on social media platforms, integrating interactive learning with community engagement. This app is a collaborative initiative between the Australian Museum and Questacon, enriching the educational reach of the Spiders exhibition through immersive technology.
