ILLUMINATORS OF ABERDEEN
Six remarkable innovators from Aberdeen’s past come to life through our interactive AR app
We worked with Curated Place and SPECTRA, Aberdeen’s Festival of Light, to deliver an interactive app and lightbox trail.
Illuminators of Aberdeen uses image recognition and augmented reality software to unlock the stories of six remarkable innovators from Aberdeen’s past. From the eminent physicist, James Clerk Maxwell, to the inventors of the MRI scanner, these personalities were illuminated through our new interactive app, which was been designed to interact with a trail of light boxes in Union Terrace Gardens, Aberdeen during Spectra Festival from 11-14 Feb 2016.
The videos can be enjoyed anywhere, anytime via the gallery (within the app) or via the trigger images at the bottom of this page. Simply download the app and then hold your mobile device up to one of the trigger images and watch as it springs to life before your eyes. Listen through headphones for the best experience.
“It is a fantastic way to learn about the inspiring people who have come from this region and who contributed so much to culture and science.”
