Educational AR location based app for children

The Keeper of Paintings and the Palette of Perception is a free mobile-based experience that uses AR technology to encourage children to explore the Gallery and learn about its paintings. This child-led experience takes place in the National Gallery, London but also, through AR, a wider imagined world of Keepers where a group of magical beings help care for some of our world’s most precious objects. The experience was created and developed by London-based immersive experience agency Arcade and commissioned by the National Gallery and project partners from Brunel University London, and Royal Holloway, University of London. They worked alongside a dedicated Children’s Advisory Group and school children from London, Brighton, Bournemouth, and Folkstone, who were consulted throughout the development and have helped devise and test the app.
