Virtual reality (VR) technology offers museums new opportunities and alternative ways to interact with visitors. During the lockdown, many have become accustomed to standard virtual walks in museums.
But the range of applications of the technology is wider: recreating the historical setting, interpreting and gaining new experiences, involving visitors in the learning process, as well as creating interactive and exciting experiences in a museum setting. In this article, I will tell you what shortcomings are hindering the spread of VR in museums and what to do about it.

Using the example of such applications, you can make sure that AR completely or partially removes most of the limitations inherent in VR. With the help of augmented reality, the museum can "revive" the heroes of the past and make them interact with visitors entering into a dialogue with the past. This is precisely the technology that will help empower museums, attract more visitors, and closely link the future and the past through innovation.
