This introductory, hands-on workshop will explore the practice and production of augmented reality (AR) content, with a focus on public art and cultural experiences.
Participants will learn how to create and share AR content using Hoverlay Spaces, a publishing platform based on a no-code workflow.
Upon completion of the workshop, participants will have created their own AR channel, learned how to place content such as images, video, sound and/or 3D models in a physical location or on a reference image, and experienced their AR spaces in the Hoverlay mobile app.
In Fall 2023, the Winchester Cultural District will launch its "Riverwalk Exhibit" which will include sculpture as well as augmented reality.
REQUIREMENTS

• AR capable mobile device (Hoverlay app runs on the majority of smartphone or tablets released as recently as 2016, iOS or Android)
• Your own files to experiment with: images of choice (.jpg or .png), video of choice (.mp4), audio of choice (.mp3), 3D model of choice (.glb)
• Folks who do not have files to experiment with can use files that will be shared by the instructors during the workshop.
