"Restoration Scan" is a speculative camera feature for the pre-existing museum app Smartify. Its' goal is to educate and explore the art work of The National Gallery's paintings, creating a new way of engagement with the history and layers of restoration and alterations.
During the project development I explored formats, having accessibility in mind. Phone screens might be tiny, but allow a mobile and low-cost engagement unlike most other tools. The downsides were that a flat battery makes a phone screen useless, and an app might alienate an older demographic.
How should these layers be interactively shown in-gallery?
The conclusion came to be an app, with the option of loaning tablets from the gallery, to allow viewers a larger format.
To the right were some of the sketches for other ways of engaging with the content.
A click-through of the app-feature was presented at the graduate show "Assembly"
