SPIDERS Augmented Reality app complements the Australian Museum’s major new exhibition. The app uses Augmented Reality (AR) technology and your mobile phone to place scientifically accurate 3D spider models in the environment around you.

Watch the spiders come to life by scanning Spiders exhibition posters, outdoor markers and image tokens with the app! You can make them dance, snap a picture with them and keep the Peacock Spider as a pet.

Spiders that are featured in the app include:

- St Andrews Cross Spider
- Queensland Whistling Tarantula
- Wolf Spider
- Redback Spider
- Red headed Mouse Spider
- Peacock Spider
