From September 17 until October 3, visitors to Toronto’s waterfront will be able to experience a one-of-a-kind augmented reality (AR) event. Redpath Waterfront Festival, an annual event that began in 2010, has launched a new walking trail that includes AR stops along the way, as well as live and public art installations. Have you ever wanted to see whales jumping out of Lake Ontario? Now is your chance! Simply scan QR codes at each AR stop using your mobile device’s camera and watch each stop come to life. The AR stops are best viewed during the day.
During the two-week-long festival, there will also be promotions at local businesses. To learn more, visit towaterfrontfest.com.
