The María José Jove Foundation Art Collection app uses augmented reality to improve and exponentially increase access to information related to authors and their works, also facilitating accessibility.

With a gesture as simple as focusing our smartphone or tablet towards one of the pieces, the app will recognize the work giving us access to content that would not be possible to access through a traditional physical infrastructure, completing what we know about it or its author, both written and narrated, through its information sheet as well as multimedia content.

Likewise, it will include such attractive features as discovering other data of interest in the work such as details on its surface or its composition, in high resolution, historical peculiarities, etc., as well as listening to artists talk about them as well as other stories and curiosities. little known. In addition, we can make the visit freely or choosing the planned routes that the app will propose, where this will be our own guide to the facilities and works. Finally, it will allow us to know the collection thoroughly from home by accessing the collection.
