It takes a village to produce an AR app
The AR Cité project brings together Students, Teachers, Artists, Media Professionals and Community Knowledge Keepers. By collaborating together in multidisciplinary teams, we have built the app (in Unity), researched the locations and produced all of the media content.
There have been over 50 students who have been directly involved in AR Cité! We’ll be posting their bios over this semester.
