I was Here ARApp Hack 1.0 + Redeem Codes

Paulo Majano’s I Was Here AR App recreates outdoor locations in Surrey BC, Canada, and its surrounding region. Each location is captured both as a photograph and as a 3D Virtual Scene (created by 3D scanning individual elements on location). Each photograph contains a latent image - a three-dimensional immersive scene that when revealed, like the latent thought in Freud's theory of dreams, offers potentially different narratives and new layers of meaning not initially visible in the exhibition photographs.

Viewers can scan the photographs: “The Carved Tree” or “The River Edge” in the gallery space using the App, and interact with the scene in Augmented Reality to reframe the composition from different points of view. Through this virtual view, viewers can move in for a closer look, or look behind objects to reveal elements not initially visible in the original photo. Ironically, since the viewer must move around the photograph to fully see it, this virtual medium creates the potential for active, physical interactions with the immaterial digital capture.
