Future Prospects

This project was ideated and created within 3 days and has many areas of improvement. A few of these that I want to add down the line are:

1. More Exhibits: I initially planned for 8-10 exhibits, but due to the late ideation, boiled it down to 5. I would love to expand this narrative journey to incorporate a detailed account of Mozart's history
2. Easter Eggs: I already have a few more easter eggs planned but I will add them to the expanded exhibits.
3. Multiscene: I also want to make it multiscene and one of the scenes will use hand-tracking to play a virtual piano/Klavier placed in front of the user.
