AR Bootcamp
The emerging trend of Augmented Reality through mobile phone experiences, headsets and eyewear is the next highly touted technological shift. How does it change our perspectives, and what kind of storytelling ideas could we be experiencing next?
The AR Bootcamp is a 2-hr workshop on AR, with focus on how future consumers will get used to augmented interfaces through headsets and modern mobile phone interfaces. Unlike VR´s all-immersive experience - AR brings simulated information to the real-world around us, creating a new and surrealistic narrative journey, from journeys to Machu Pichu to investigating a crime scene in your own living space.
Led by workshop leader Ali Zareiee, founding member of the VR/AR movement in Norway, the AR bootcamp invites the technologically curious and narrative visionaries to have an hands-on experience that they will not soon forget.
