ABOUT
Colar – A Digital Gateway to Art & Culture
Colar is a conceptual mobile app designed to democratize access to art and culture. Built for inclusivity, Colar allows users to explore exhibits, read personalized articles, and experience virtual museum tours — all from their mobile devices. The app emphasizes accessibility by integrating assistive technology and offers an experience that evolves based on each user's interests and behavior.
PROBLEM
Access to art and culture is often limited by physical location, time constraints, and lack of inclusive digital tools. Traditional platforms do not offer personalized or accessible features, especially for users with disabilities or those in remote areas.
SOLUTION
Colar bridges this gap by delivering a mobile-first platform that offers personalized content, digital ticketing, interactive museum maps, and assistive technologies. This empowers users of all backgrounds and abilities to explore and engage with the arts on their own terms
