About
ARtGlass is the world’s leading creator of wearable Augmented Reality (AR) experiences for museums and historic buildings, archaeological sites and battlefields, cityscapes and parks, and attractions and theme parks. Founded by cultural heritage experts and leading technologists, we provide the knowledge, tools, and support you need to create distinguishing immersive experiences for your site.
By layering 3D images, videos, models, text, and 360-degree audio over views of real-world objects and places, we transport visitors on interactive journeys through time and space. The result is a “magic” experience that is entertaining and evocative.
Our tour design software is largely proprietary, patent-protected, and battle-tested through millions of uses. Our apps detect objects and visitors’ movements, without reliance on Wi-Fi. We are best known for our groundbreaking wearable experiences, deployed on hands-free, transparent smartglasses, and we also design tours for tablets and cell phones.
ARtGlass helps our clients transform the storytelling experience for their customers, distinguishing them from their competition, drawing new and returning visitors, and generating increased revenues.
With millions of satisfied users at over 125 premier cultural sites and attractions around the world, ARtGlass has proven its ability to create memorable stories and unforgettable guest experiences.

Testimonials
We always strive to create personal connections with art for our visitors, especially kids and families. Augmented reality is a way to support those connections. When people have insight, information, or even secrets about the art, they become more interested and invested."
– Lindsay Genshaft, Senior Manager of Family and Community Programs, Denver Art Museum
They see some rooms with mosaic floors with frescos on the wall, but the rooms are empty and it's difficult for people to understand how the rooms were used in the original time. We can explain this area thanks to drawings and writings on the walls, but the archaeological site is not speaking the best of its possibilities. Thanks to the art glasses, it's possible for us to overlap the 3D reconstruction to the real ruins and people can see the landscape changing around them and they feel as they were in the ancient times."
– Francesca Morandini, Archaeological Curator, Brescia Museums Foundation
The augmented reality tour enables us to do things we cannot do every day: show primary sources next to places and objects, do large-scale reenactments of key events, and take guests back through time to show them what Mount Vernon looked like throughout Washington’s entire lifetime."
— Matt Briney, VP of New Media, George Washington’s Mount Vernon
