American Kennel Club | Museum of the Dog | New York

Project Highlight:

We used machine learning to match a person’s facial features with their most represented breed. I’m a Golden Retriever.

Challenge:

With one of the world’s largest collections of dog-related art and artifacts, the AKC needed a customizable, interactive exhibition space that appeals to all ages.

Design Approach:

Fine art and high tech collide to educate visitors and engage them with AKC recognized dog breeds. Historic salon paintings and artifacts are displayed side-by-side with interactive exhibits in a digital ecosystem that uses facial recognition technology, a mobile augmented-reality app for kids, and social-media strategies to engage the community beyond the museum walls.
