We are currently developing an augmented reality app to create a digital portrait of St. Helens. Participants are working with artists and performers to explore issues around the history, geography, and diversity of the town.
This new AR App will offer a creative overlay to a variety of outdoor spaces in St Helens. That will enable audiences of all ages to experience multimedia artwork outside the confines of galleries or performance spaces.
