Beautiful use of AR

One of the most creative AR uses and beautifully expressive (but, yeah, damning). The app worked even when I got home in upstate NY (3hrs from Manhattan) and one other time I believe. Turned location service and data on for the app today and it’s gone. It’s been more than a year since I used the app though. Bummer. What a great project to show friends.

Beautiful and damning

Beautiful, colourful augmented reality underwater organisms are, on closer inspection, made of our discarded plastic. Go at different times to see the “coral” bleach out.

Be aware...

...this application is useful only on the 6th floor of the Whitney museum; elsewhere it does nothing but maintain access to your location and camera.
