An experimental slice of the Real-World Metaverse made for the Niantic Lightship Summit 2022. Open this app at the event to uncover the hidden Reality Channels around you: - Summit Channel - Experience a fantastical augmented world, tightly woven into the physical architecture of the venue. Take photos with each other, and post them to the virtual photo walls. - Navigation Channel - Find your way around and check what's on now/next, with virtual signage that displays the event schedule. - Sights Channel - New to San Francisco? Find out more about the things around you, from the buildings on the skyline to the coffee in the snack bars. - Stickerverse - The venue is a giant canvas for you (and everyone else) to fill with your stickers. - VPS Channel - Take a peek under the hood to see how Niantic Lightship VPS is powering the experience. The Reality Channels are ONLY viewable at Lightship Summit 2022 in San Francisco. If you are not at the venue, you can view a 3D invite in AR. Designed by Liquid City
