Why

The National History Museum launched xwashier,a website and mobile app with special stories about special places of national history. Xwashier combines personal memories of great events, connects past and present, people with locations. Each location has its own marker. The marker can be detected with image recognition.The marker is the key to a mobile app and a little story about the place. Xwashier breaks the physical boundaries of the museum. The combination of website, mobile app, video and image recognition is uniquely and innovative.
