“The Speaking Celt” app is a companion app to visitors of the Museum of Celtic Heritage in Salzburg.
Serving as a museum guide, the augmented celt appears every time users scan the targets.
The celt tells stories about his way of living, explains elements of the museum and engage with visitors in an interactive way.
Once the day is over, an augmented celt makes sure to ‘guard’ the museum day and night, protecting all the treasures inside the building.

Thanks very much Amber!
Have you seen any avatars that are more integrated with environment rather than in a screen? A little tricky to explain, but I'm also trying to look for more immersive experiences.

The Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland, CA uses avatars in their Bill Nye Climate Lab exhibit. Also, at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science we kind of use avatars in Expedition Health. The visitors are given a scanner card and choose a character, or buddy, (there are several people that were pre-filmed), and at each interactive station the visitor learns more about their buddy's experience as it relates to the different activities.

Hi All,
We're looking for case studies where visitors can choose their own avatars* to interact with their physical space or through a tracking device. Anything that has been done related to this would be great. It does not need to be solely in museum settings, but also themed attractions, video games, etc.
*avatar = an icon or figure representing a particular person or character onscreen.
