Engaging the Next Generation

To engage their younger audience, Belvedere Museum partnered with The Brand Father to imagine a location-based WebAR game for its gardens. The challenge was to create a digital experience that resonated with the younger audience while preserving the history and art in the overall concept. They asked Orb Amsterdam to bring this vision to life with its expertise in immersive technology, merging innovation with cultural storytelling.

A Game Rooted in the Museum’s Gardens

We created an immersive WebAR adventure that invites children and families to explore the gardens, seamlessly blending digital interactions with the physical environment through Niantic VPS technology.

To ensure an engaging and historically respectful experience, we designed custom 3D animal characters inspired by the museum's past.

Multilingual support (English and German) was integrated to reach the international audience of the museum, and geo-fencing was implemented to maintain the experience's exclusivity within the gardens.

A World That Keeps Growing

The Fantastic Palastics captivated young audiences, expanded into merchandise, and set the stage for future creative and engagement concepts of Belvedere Museum.
