Frequently Asked Questions
Accounts with access to the mobile augmented reality Tapgaze app are free and we do not intend charging in the future. This is so anyone in the Tapgaze community can enjoy art in augmented reality.
All accounts with access to the Tapgaze Creator app (i.e. this app creates content by artists and exhibitors and is consumed by the augmented reality mobile Tapgaze app) start on a free trial account that expires in January 2023. At the end of your trial, you have the option to downgrade to a free account.
We are now a year away and we have not yet finalized how much the charge for Tapgaze Creator users will be but we estimate there will be
- a free subscription with unlimited views from your users, fully featured AR functionality but limited data, account features and a maximum of 5 artwork items
- a basic subscription with all benefits in the free subscription and more data and features from 8 USD a month
- a higher tier subscription with all benefits in the basic subscription and more data and features for 40 USD a month
Yes of course ! Think of the Tapgaze app as any other digital medium where people access your images via a browser or mobile app.
In a nutshell we retain the intellectual property related to the app and you retain all rights to your images. Please read our Terms and Conditions and in particular Section 5.
We ask for the right to use your images for marketing purposes to sponsor the app. For example we may show a video or snapshot in our instagram channel of an augmented reality experience with your painting and the app. We think this can help us grow the Tapgaze community. If you have concerns we can help please do not hesitate to tell us !
