About TapGlyph
Built in a museum. Shaped by curators.
TapGlyph started from a simple observation: museum visitors read plaques, not apps. Native museum apps have low adoption because they require a download before the visit even starts. TapGlyph flips that — the experience is on the web, triggered instantly by a tap or scan, with no friction between the object and the story.
How It Was Built
The product was shaped through discovery interviews with museum curators and observational studies across three cultural institutions. Every feature — from the Digital Passport to the AI translation pipeline — traces back to something a real curator asked for or a real visitor struggled with.
