Greetings ! Augmented Reality Art Gallery @ Future Festival Sept 2017 Check out this awesome Augmented Reality Art Exhibit from our upcoming Future Festival: IMPOSSIBLE THINGS. You browse the classic paintings in an art gallery, but in Augmented Reality, you see a matching modern world re-contextualizing the painting and its purpose. When we interviewed the founders they said the average gallery viewer usually only stares at a painting for 17 seconds, so they wanted to reimagine that experience. EPIC! If you want to experience 40+ more Trend Safaris like the above, make sure to be fully registered for Future Festival by July 31. The next day we are releasing all of the selections, and you will want to get first pick. Toronto Safaris so far include: a tech festival, getting a 3D printed selfie, yoga with a brain reader, a place to get your face laser-printed on a cookie, the business of weed, graffiti tours, axe throwing, and more.
