A collaboration that I am working on with Mitch Miller and Phoenix Toews, Augmented Mountain, released a new version of our Pyrite app in conjunction with the Scope Art Fair in New York City, March 7-11. You can visit our website: augmentedmountain.com. The app is a free download on the app store. Check it out! http://tinyurl.com/PyriteApp
Pyrite is a new augmented reality mash-up game created by my collaborative Augmented Mountain (Mitch Miller, Phoenix Toews, Meredith Drum). We released the game as a technological partnership with the Scope Art Fair, Miami 4-9, 2011. Above is a video taken of someone playing the game at Scope Miami.
My collaborators, Rachel Stevens and Phoenix Toews, and I will be presenting our new project Oyster City at the Mobility Shifts: International Future of Learning conference at the New School in NYC on October 12th. The workshop description is here. The project we are presenting, Oyster City, is an augmented reality walking tour of lower Manhattan focused on the history of humans and oysters in NY Harbor, including information about recent initiatives to restore water qualities by reintroducing oyster reefs to the harbor.
