AUR: Augmented Urban Reality

Published: 10 June 2015 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper we present the Augmented Urban Reality Project (AUR), developed by University College London in association with augmented reality specialists, Holition (UK).
We designed and implemented an urban experience, which combines two screens during the Arts Trail in Leytonstone (UK): 1) the situated urban screen enabling sharing of photos taken by artists and the local community and displaying them on the high street, 2) a mobile screen, with which users can a) select a destination or an art venue, b) through an AR view the user will be guided by a walking 3D digital character, which is superimposed on the real world, c) take photos and share selected ones with the situated screen.
The diversity of the local communities and the active art scene provide a unique opportunity for the research to examine interactions between the communities within the town centre.
