The Lubbock Lake Landmark will share its experience with its new mobile app so that other small museums can implement these same steps or request similar accessibility features from developers on their own projects. The app addressed a desire for increased technology use and extended a small gallery space virtually by creating additional education and interactive opportunities.

Learning Objectives:

Describe alternative text, dynamic font, transcripts, and other key accessibility features in mobile app design.
Utilize a scaled design approach to the decision process and prioritization in order to manage limited resources.
Explain considerations for mindful use of AR and technology within the gallery space.
