The Birrunga Gallery augmented reality app allows you to experience the wonderment of hearing the incredible, harrowing, and inspiring stories behind the unique artworks featured in the gallery. Using image recognition, visitors scan artworks, launching interactive experiences where artists narrate the history, culture, truth and story telling behind each artwork. The app provides points of interest to explain how the colours, shapes, and objects relate to and convey the stories.
