Audio Guide

I designed an audio guide app for patrons who wish to tour the museum at their own pace.

The Problem

  • The San Antonio Museum of Art does not have an audio guide

Desired Outcome

  • Provide users with a variety of audio tours

  • Provide users with a different experience of the museum
