Oyster City

Oyster City is an augmented reality walking tour and game about the history of oysters in the New York City area that I am working on with Meredith Drum and Phoenix Toews. The project is being built for the iOS platform (iPhone and iPad) with software that Phoenix developed. Oyster City will make visible relationships between ecological, social and economic histories as players interact with virtual objects and narratives placed in the landscape. We will be presenting a workshop on using augmented reality along with an early demo of our project at Mobility Shifts: An International Future of Learning Summit at the New School in October.

The Family Analog
