Floating Maps vs Sacred Sites

Floating Maps uses Augmented Reality (AR) to float historical aerial photography over beautiful map art for your home. With a wall print from Floating maps, you can scan the QR Code and bring it to life! Floating in front of you will be an elevation accurate 3D rendering of your town. You can see how the landscape has changed starting with photography from 2019 and going all the way back to black-and-white photographs from 1938. We are working hard to add new towns each week.
