Popis: People with disabilities rarely visit museums due to mobility issues in reaching and navigating museum buildings and difficulties in accessing artworks. This work addresses the latter problem, considering people with low vision. To this end, we present MusA, an inclusive mobile app aimed at providing interactive artwork descriptions to museum visitors in AR. This contribution describes the mobile app design process, consisting in two iterations with end-users. The evaluation, conducted with participants with low vision, shows that AR is an effective support for accessing visual artworks. MusA is more engaging than traditional audio guides and it is also highly usable. It provides useful functionalities and it raises interest of low vision people in visiting museums.
