Brand world — Museum
History, worn.
Ten eras, one face. A visitor steps in front of the Manifest Mirror and becomes an Egyptian queen, a samurai, a Renaissance painter — live, in mirror format, for ninety seconds. The costume changes. The person does not.
The concept
A collection you can put on
Museums hold the objects of an era behind glass. The Museum world hands the era back to the visitor for a minute — not as a photo booth cut-out, but as continuous video in which the visitor recognises themselves wearing the period.
Museum world — attract scene
One world, ten moments
Built in Manifest Studio, published to the mirror
Each moment carries its own scene, garment reference, prompt and ambient treatment. Together they form a world a venue can run as a single installation.
- Period, not costume party. Garments, materials and light are researched per era and reviewed before the world is published.
- Switchable mid-session. The visitor moves between eras from their phone without leaving the mirror.
- Two modes. Full world transforms the setting; outfit only keeps the real gallery behind the visitor.
- Any format. The same world runs on a 9:16 portrait unit in the foyer and a 16:9 wall above the shop counter.
The ten moments
Three thousand years, one queue
Every visitor sees the full set. Most try three in a session; families come back for the rest.
Ancient Egypt — full world mode
Identity lock
Your face stays your face
The transformation is worthless if the visitor sees a stranger. Manifest Engine pins identity first and last in the prompt stack: face, skin tone, age, expression and body proportions are preserved while wardrobe, setting and light change around them.
- Continuous video. The mirror answers movement, not a shutter. Turn your head and the pharaonic collar turns with you.
- Expression intact. A laugh in front of the mirror is a laugh in the Baroque Court.
- Nothing invented about the person. The model dresses the visitor; it does not reshape them.
- Visible AI notice. Guests are told the image is generated, in line with our transparency rules.
The look
Gold — quiet museum grammar
Each world ships with a UI look: the on-screen language a visitor touches. Museum runs on Gold — warm brass on deep black, generous type, no chrome competing with the exhibition around it.
Nine looks ship with the platform. A venue picks one per mirror; the world stays the same.
| World | Museum |
|---|---|
| Moments | Ten, switchable during a session |
| UI look | Gold |
| Modes | Full world, or outfit only with the real gallery kept behind the visitor |
| Formats | 9:16, 3:4, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9 |
| Session | 90 seconds by default, set centrally for the venue |
| Remote | Phone paired by QR code at qr.manifestmirror.com |
| Delivery | Recording by email after the session |
Ninety seconds
How a visit to the mirror runs
No app, no staff at the unit, no sign-up before the experience. The attract loop does the inviting.
- Attract
The mirror shows the Museum world in motion. A visitor walking past sees the room they are standing in, and an era arriving over it.
- Pair
Scanning the QR code turns the visitor's phone into the remote. Touch on the unit works just as well for anyone without a phone.
- Transform
The camera stream becomes a live transformation. The visitor picks Ancient Egypt, then the Samurai, then the Roaring Twenties — the face never changes.
- Take it home
The recording is assembled after the session and sent by email. The visitor leaves with the museum in their pocket.
What the venue gets
A souvenir that markets you
A reason to linger
The mirror sits where dwell time is worth money: the foyer, the end of the exhibition route, the shop. Visitors stop, watch other people transform, and queue.
Education by wearing
An era learned from the inside is an era remembered. Curatorial captions can travel with the recording, so the learning does not end at the door.
Reach without media spend
The recording arrives by email with the visitor's consent, already carrying the exhibition. What visitors share is themselves, which is why it travels.
Recordings are deleted automatically after seven days, email deliveries after thirty. See Privacy & Compliance.
A museum asks you to look. The mirror asks you to step in. Both are ways of understanding an era — only one of them lets you recognise yourself inside it.
Manifest Media manifesto
Curators ask
Questions from the gallery floor
Each moment is designed from period references in Manifest Studio and reviewed by a human before the world is published. A world can also be adapted to a specific collection, so the garments echo the objects in your own galleries rather than a generic version of the era.
Yes, and the choice of moments is yours. A world is a set of ten; moments can be removed or replaced for a venue, and the Gold look is deliberately quiet so the unit reads as part of the architecture rather than an arcade machine.
No. The mirror runs in kiosk mode as a fullscreen web app with its assets precached, so the attract loop continues even if the connection drops. Visitors pair a phone by QR code or simply touch the unit, and give an email address only if they want the recording.
Children take part only with a guardian's consent, given at the mirror. No biometric templates are stored, guest footage is never used to train models, and recordings are deleted automatically after seven days.
Both. Special exhibitions usually take a rental unit for the run; permanent collections install and keep the world, swapping moments as the programme changes. Operations, configuration and session length are managed centrally.
