Try Capption yourself
A simulated, self-guided visit to real exhibits at our partner institutions.
Before you begin
This is a simulation of the full Capption experience. Real exhibit visitors trigger Capption with NFC tags, which carry additional data that accelerates their experience versus the traditional URLs used on this web-based demo page. Each icon below opens a live exhibit.
Typical visitors won't need to download the Capption app prior to tapping a tag — but to proceed with this demo, you will. If you're on a desktop or laptop, you can still click through and view content, though not exactly as your visitors would.
Demo exhibits
American Swedish Institute
Visby Window
