The Skin and Bones app was created to tell the untold stories of one of the Smithsonian's oldest collections. The app uses AR technology to overlay a series of 3D models and animation overlay on the existing exhibit. The purpose of the app was not to take away from the historical exhibition. Instead, it created a new layer of interactions for the visitors while providing more information and visualization. The models used in the app were 3D scanned and sculpted under the supervision of researchers within the Smithsonian institution.
