How the ErfgoedApp works
Press the info button at the bottom of the app's home page, you will get more info at the different buttons and features. To get started, you usually need to start a tour. The overview of tours can be found under the compass button.
I cannot scan the object
Stand directly in front of the object and make sure the object is fully in view of the scan window. If this does not work check that you have started the correct tour via the compass button.
Is the ErfgoedApp free?
Yes using the ErfgoedApp is completely free, so you can always discover more information and stories at heritage. However, museums using the app may charge income to visit the exhibition or museum. The app also contains no advertisements.
Is it possible to use the ErfgoedApp if you are not on site?
The purpose of the ErfgoedApp is to give you more information and stories on location at heritage sites, for this you usually had to be on the spot e.g. in the museum or at the historical site. Many features of the app only work on location. Some walks and bike tours you can already (partly) explore and discover via the map in the app.
I have a black screen when I want to scan
Allow the ErfgoedApp access to use your camera.
Sommige Samsungs S22 en A55 (A56) maken gebruik van een eigen op maat gemaakte AR software die soms een conflict kan geven met de ErfgoedApp. Soms kan bij het openen van de scan de app ook sluiten of crashen. Tot onze spijt kunnen deze toestellen niet scannen met de ErfgoedApp. We zijn samen met Samsung het probleem aan het zoeken en hopen dat dit via een update van Samsung opgelost kan worden. Een mogelijke oplossing is om “Google play AR Service” te herinstalleren op de telefoon.
Beacons worden niet herkend op sommige android telefoons
Dit kan voorkomen als je de app pas hebt geïnstalleerd op sommige Android telefoons. Herstart de app (volledig sluiten en terug openen) en daarna werken de beacons meestal wel. We werken aan een oplossing via een app update.
What about my privacy?
The ErfgoedApp respects the privacy of its users. To use localization, bluetooth and camera, the app always asks for access. It is important for the proper functioning of the app that you give that permission. The only data the ErfgoedApp keeps is the number of times a tour has been started and how many times a story has been opened. The ErfgoedApp never asks for personal data and thus cannot link the use of the app to a person. The app also does not contain any advertisements, external statistics that could harm your privacy. Please also read our privacy and general terms and conditions: https://erfgoed.app/privacy-disclaimer/
I would like to use the ErfgoedApp for a project
