FutureArtsWay
Read full descriptionHide full description
Future Arts Way is a location-based augmented-reality art app. Each AR experience is tied to a physical art site via GPS geofencing. The app continuously shows the user's distance to the nearest experience ("You're X km from The Experience"). The AR experience itself only unlocks and loads when the device is physically within ~80 m of that site.
