Introduction: Why Use Augmented Reality?
As an exhibitor, presenting your art in augmented reality (AR) can provide an immersive and interactive experience for your collectors. Kunstmatrix's art.augmented app allows you to showcase your artworks as if they were hanging on the walls of your audience's home or office—allowing them to experience your art in its real size and full color, all from their mobile device.
Why use AR?
- Real-life visualization: Let your audience envision how the artwork would look in their space.
- Tangible experience: Make your virtual inventory more tangible by allowing clients to "place" art in their homes.
- Sales support: Personalize the experience by sending tailored selections, boosting the likelihood of a sale.
- Accessibility: All your audience needs is the app—no need for an account, just a simple QR code or link.

Create and Publish a Selection
Before sharing your artworks in AR, you'll need to create a selection of works. Here’s how:
1. Create a New Selection:
- Once logged in, go to your selection manager.
- Click “Create Selection” and give it a title and image (both are necessary).
2. Add Artworks:
- Select artworks from your inventory to include in the selection.
- You must add at least one artwork to the selection.
Save and Publish:
- Once satisfied with your selection, click "Save" and "Publish."
Please keep in mind that certain elements from your exhibitions cannot be presented in the app just yet: Audio, videos, and sculptures should be left out of your selections.
Share Your Selection Or Exhibition in Augmented Reality
You can find the “View in AR” links for easy sharing from both the Exhibition Manager and Selection Manager in your main navigation.
1. Exhibition Manager:
- After publishing your exhibition, locate the "View in AR" option.
- Share this link directly with your clients.
2. Selection Manager:
- After publishing a selection, find the “View in AR” link here as well.
- Share the link or generate a QR code for your audience to scan.
For a more personalized experience, you can share a unique AR selection with individual clients, catering directly to their tastes and preferences.
Next Steps and Additional Resources
Once you’ve shared the AR version of your exhibition or selection, follow up by providing your clients with detailed instructions on how to use the app. You may also send them a direct link to our user instructions for a seamless experience.
By integrating augmented reality into your exhibition strategy, you can provide an innovative and engaging way to connect with your collectors, showcasing your art in their space without leaving the comfort of their home.
Happy exhibiting!
