Miriam Träumer-Weberstorfer

Miriam Träumer-Weberstorfer’s passion for archaeology and biology was lit in her childhood by the discovery of the ice mummy Ötzi. This interest in ancient mysteries, unsolved riddles and unlocked secrets, eventually led the Upper Austrian to Vienna, where she completed her individual diploma studies in “Quaternary Biology and Archaeology of the Palaeolithic”.

After her niche studies, she led city games for an event agency. Also she enjoyed her mediation work at the Natural History Museum Vienna. However, since the job she wanted to work in did not exist, Miriam Träumer-Weberstorfer decided to create it herself and founded ArchäoNOW in 2016.

Miriam Träumer-Weberstorfer will be speaking at the Museums, Games & Play Summit 2024 :

A Shared Secret – The Clock Museum’s AR Escape Game

Time measurement is a central human activity. We are so used to this invisible task that we rarely think about it or the tools we use to carry it out. The Vienna Clock Museum houses one of the biggest clock collections in Europe. In order to explore the hidden world beyond the beautiful cases and make it tangible, we created an interactive escape game using augmented reality to interact with objects that are normally static, behind glass or hidden in a clock case.
