When viewers look at the table using an augmented reality app, they can see a scene with video characters interacting and moving around the wood table. Scenes: 1 Historical - Based on historical photographs from the Surrey archives collection. Some images from Stan McKinnon or Roy Houghton photographs from archives.

About
The images made for this project create a portrait of the people and the area South of the Fraser by depicting aspects of everyday life set against the backdrop of the local landscape.
These images recreate the drama of everyday events set against the backdrop of public outdoor spaces and parks in the area. These are scenes observed, remembered, and imagined from the traces of human activity left on the landscape. When each photograph is viewed with a smartphone or tablet using an augmented reality app it becomes a three dimensional image where the viewer can look into the scene and behind objects to see elements that are not visible in the printed photograph. The viewer becomes an active participant, able to reframe the photograph to include elements left out of the original composition, potentially revealing new layers of meaning . __________________ See also Project: Tatlow Park __________________ About Augmented Reality (AR) Augmented Reality is a technology that allows the overlay of digital content such as 3D graphics, images, or video, over views of the world in real time. In this project, the photographs can be viewed as interactive three-dimensional images when viewed with a Smartphone (or digital tablet) and the AR App Junaio. Using the smarphone camera, viewers can look into the scene, and see it from different points of view to reveal elements that are not visible in the photograph, they assume the role of photographer as they choose where to look.
