Scienscope (published as SurfaceLens) is a smartphone-based peripheral device that enables near-surface spatial interaction with physical museum exhibits by acting as a digital magnifying glass. The system utilizes a combination of RFID tags for location tagging and optical displacement sensors to track the device’s movement and orientation as it is moved directly along an exhibit's surface. By mapping this spatial data to digital content, it creates a "see-through" effect that overlays situated information, audio, and haptic feedback to provide a more intuitive and hands-on exploratory experience.
