XRGuide is a curated catalog of immersive worlds, spatial films, WebXR pieces, and interactive installations — built to plug into museum and collection programming across the world.
XRGuide for Museums
Add your museum to the World Catalog, host curated XR programming, and partner with vetted immersive artists.
Why XRGuide for your venue
Most museums want to program more interactive and immersive media — but the field is fragmented across headsets, WebXR, spatial film, AR overlays, and projection-mapped rooms. XRGuide unifies the curation, the artists, and the rights conversation in one place.
Our human curators pair venues with vetted, accessibility-aware immersive works — from family-safe WebXR for school groups to full-room art installations for adult exhibitions — and connect you directly with the artists who built them.
Designed for the way museums actually program
Headset-optional. Rights-cleared. Accessibility-tagged. Catalogued in the same language curators already use — medium, audience, runtime, motion profile, age rating.

Art, science, history, design, children's, and university museums.
Planetariums & domes

Add your museum to the World Catalog

Full legal name plus public-facing name if different.
Curator or programming contact
Name, role, email, and the best way to schedule a call.
Venue type & capabilities
Gallery, dome, planetarium, theater, classroom, kiosk, headset cart — what is already on-site?
Audience focus
Children, families, schools, university, adult, accessibility-first, or mixed.
Programming you want to host
WebXR pieces, spatial films, full-room installations, dome shows, headset experiences, AR overlays, or commissions.
Rights & accessibility notes
Any constraints around content rating, captions, motion sensitivity, language, or licensing.

Spatial film & dome
Fulldome, planetarium, and spatial-film programming pulled from cataloged immersive films.
Full-room installations
Projection-mapped rooms and physical immersive installations co-produced with cataloged artists.
AR overlays
On-site AR layers tied to objects in the permanent collection or temporary exhibitions.
School & family programming
Age-rated, kid-friendly, classroom-appropriate programming filtered from the catalog.

Curatorial Intake
Your team submits the venue, current programming, and the kinds of immersive media you want to host or commission. We map it to the World Catalog taxonomy.
Technical capabilities we support
We meet your venue where it is — from a single tablet kiosk to a full immersive dome.
Web & kiosk delivery
Browser-based WebXR pieces on visitor phones, tablets, or in-gallery kiosks.
Projection & dome
High-lumen laser projection and fulldome programming for shared, no-headset experiences.
Sensing & interactivity
Optional depth-sensor and crowd-tracking integrations for collectively navigated installations.
Headset & XR runtime
Compatibility guidance for Quest, Vision Pro, PCVR, and WebXR-capable browsers.
