DAM_SCOUT seems like a simple enough app; scan a code, recieve content, done. Coming to the end solution was anything but simple, though. There’s really quite a bit going on, handling and presenting all the different types of content in an intuitive way proved to be a vexing challenge. The best design gets out of your way... but it's not a bad looking app, either.
like a museum guide, but on your own terms & minus the bad jokes
A museum experience is different for everyone. Some people prefer to take their time, going piece by piece, reading all info available; some prefer buzzing around purely based on what catches their eye. DAM_SCOUT is really for all of these people; whether you want to take in all that the app has to offer right there in the experience or scan and view later - at home or in the lobby waiting for your slow friend - it all works very simply.
a single scan
A huge variety of media items are a tap away after a single scan - video interviews, artist statements, photos of work, YouTube videos, text info, artist's website links, user-shared photos, or guides to associated pieces elsewhere in the museum; almost all of these sharable through social media and open to public comments and discourse.
