Augmented Mountain Pavilion Entrance Pyrite iPhone and iPad app
With Augmented Reality, we can traverse narratives through constructed virtual media that are over-laid, in reference to and interactive with, specific physical sites. Augmented Mountain’s unique toolkit, Palimpsest, for the iPhone and iPad, enables the creation of narratives contextualized by geographic location, games that interact with the physical environment, and artistic performances and installations that are virtually attached to real-world physical space. Augmented Mountain, in collaboration with SCOPE, will be using art fair geographies as a platform to demonstrate the fun, informative and mercantile capabilities of their initiative, Pyrite, by creating a multi-faceted AR game. This program will allow users to learn about SCOPE special projects and events happening during the fair, while playing a first-person shooter, choose-your-own-adventure game. Continuing beyond Miami 2011, Augmented Mountain will produce new iterations of the application Pyrite for each art fair week, including information regarding the week’s special projects and events. In advance of each fair, all players / users / participants of our game will receive upgrades conceived and located by emerging artists. These upgrades can be collected and combined to customize your augmented reality and strengthen your experience.
