Project Summary

Futured is developing a modern mobile application for the National Museum that functions as an audioguide, indoor navigation, and ticket store, and includes planned augmented reality for exhibits. The project was awarded via public procurement and is organized into three phases with agile management, weekly wireframing and regular status meetings. The client highlighted Futured's clear communication, professionalism, and adaptability to the museum's complex structure.

Key Challenges

Replace the legacy app with a modern mobile app offering audio tours, navigation, and ticket purchases
Implement augmented reality features for exhibits
Meet and exceed the standards of the world's largest museums' apps
Operate within public procurement constraints

Project Deliverables

Mobile app (iOS and Android) with audioguide functionality
Navigation via BLE beacons integrated with Aruba Meridian Editor
Ticket purchasing/store functionality to skip lines
Augmented reality features for exhibits
Backend services hosted on AWS with Docker-based local development

Project Solution

Futured won a public procurement and delivered detailed analysis, modern UX and wireframes, and iterative development across three phases. They used Kotlin for Android and Objective-C for iOS, hosted backend services on AWS, used Docker for local development, and integrated the CMS with Aruba Meridian Editor to enable BLE beacon–based indoor navigation. The team held weekly meetings, incorporated feedback rapidly in an agile process, and provided a dedicated project manager plus developers and designers.

Project Outcome

The mobile app is still under development and has no measurable outcomes yet
Consistent communication with weekly status meetings and Slack for quick messages, with project documentation in Notion
