Augmented reality can help museums engage global audiences by allowing interactive access to artifacts usually unavailable to the public or difficult to preserve, while also providing researchers accurate details. It preserves collections by limiting physical handling and gives interactive yet informative access to 3D models of artifacts from museums like The British Museum and the Idaho Museum of Natural History.
