Kościan is a town in the Greater Poland region, situated on the Obra Canal, with town rights dating back to the 13th century. In the 15th century it was known for cloth-making – King Casimir IV Jagiellon granted Kościan cloth the first trademark in Polish history.
Kościan is one of the oldest towns in Greater Poland (Wielkopolska), and the best place to learn about its history is the Dr Henryk Florkowski Regional Museum on Kościan's Market Square.
For visitors, we created a web app that runs directly in the phone's browser – with nothing to install. Narrated recordings lead you through the museum's exhibition and introduce its most interesting exhibits as well as the history of the town and the region.
We created a mobile app for Android and iOS phones that invites visitors on a walk around the town and tells the story of its history and landmarks. Thanks to GPS, each recording starts at the right point along the route, and selected stops are enhanced with augmented reality (AR).
The app was built in line with the WCAG 2.1 accessibility standard. The content is available in Polish, English and German, with audio description for blind and partially sighted visitors, and in Polish Sign Language.
