Apple de Young Museumes are set to become “invisible tour guides”, thanks to a joint venture between start-up Guidekick and San Francisco’s Watch. Visitors to the museum can download an app to the de Young Museum that will vibrate to alert wearers to nearby audio components, delivering the information in real-time. As well as offering commentaries on exhibits and more information about displays, the app also provides a 3D map of the museum.
