Incredible

I could sit for hours listening to the diverse array of stories this app holds.

Absolutely incredible integration of AR!

It’s so magical to even witness these murals, and even more so to be able to connect each individual photographed with their name and audio recording. This app is incredible — and it truly makes these projects into time capsules. I could sit for hours, it seems, and explore how each unique person contributes to the diversity of each mural, whether it be a Chronicles or the project in Tehachapi. Concepts like these are stretching the capabilities and power of art, allowing for technology to broaden our horizons in such fantastic ways. This is a new methodology of storytelling — one that is far more intimate and interesting than ever before. Bravo!!!

Great idea! But not working

When I point my phone at the mural, nothing happens.

Great mural, AR issues though

Can’t get the AR to work...

Mural stunning, app not functioning with live mural

UPDATE: The app does work with the accompanying book.

It would be great if I could click through the people in this app like you can on the devices adjacent to the exhibit.

The VR component is not working at all in recognizing the moving faces in the mural; no matter how close or far away I get to it.
