The app uses augmented reality to tell the story of a historic Toronto neighbourhood.
Abstract:
-
Excerpt:
The app displays archival video and digital content for 12 points of interest at 11 locations in and around the market. The locations are displayed on a 3-D map and when users approach the locations, they hold their camera phones up to the building or site identified through the app.
Then, the app identifies a visual marker of the building and that will trigger a mini doc and timeline to pop up over the live building on the screen with historical information about the building itself.
