This Friday: A Halloween AR Art Event in Old Town, San Diego!
For those of you who live in and around San Diego and love playing with virtual tech, you're in luck this Halloween. The Phantom Gallery: A Spook Augmented Reality Art Experience is on its way!
The Phantom Gallery exhibit will consist of Halloween-themed augmented reality (AR) art created by a group of digital artists (and yours truly) and will be exhibited in the Old Town neighborhood of San Deigo, California on Friday, October 27. This self-guided, in-person event will be a unique experience, where folks will stroll through the streets of Old Town to uncover hidden ghostly masterpieces that only reveal themselves through the latest AR tech.
The artists who are participating in this augmented art show include Cabel Adams, Kevin Ang, Jacki Clark, Holliday Horton, Jason Rogalski, and Willowmoon Art. I will have some AR pieces in this show as well, including my virtual VHS rental shelves and a few 3D posters of classic movie monsters.
To see this Old Town art exhibit, you will need to download the map that will be available to download on the event's Discussion tab this Friday via The Phantom Gallery Facebook page. Print out the map and use your phone's camera to scan the QR codes associated with specific locations on the map. The Adobe Aero Viewer will load and direct you to scan the location to load the AR art, which should appear on your device's screen.
Because these art pieces are geo-coded, you will not be able to see them anywhere other than the physical locations to which they've been assigned. However, I have a few video clips below that you can preview to see the kinds of virtual art that will transcend the visible realm in San Diego this Friday, art that includes ghosts, a dragon, and a giant demon skeleton. Happy Virtual Halloween!
This Friday, San Diego's Old Town will host a unique Halloween AR art event! If you live in San Diego and its surrounding areas and enjoy virtual technology, then you will be blessed this Halloween. Phantom Gallery: Ghost Augmented Reality Art Experience is Coming Soon!
