Uramado AR special: treasure hunt, drawings and masks in augmented reality

About

From Tuesday 10 to Friday 13 November, 4:30pm to 5:30pm, dive into the world of Uramado AR, the Awakening of the Tanukis, the immersive, participatory augmented reality experience by French artist Julie Stephen Chheng, at the Institut français in Vientiane. Scavenger hunt in augmented reality: The journey tells the story of the Tanukis, nature spirits awakening in the city. Scattered throughout the Institut français and hidden to varying degrees, the Tanukis invite participants to download the free Uramado AR app and embark on their scavenger hunt. As participants discover the Tanukis, the creatures come to life, express their surprise, and ask questions of the viewer. At the end of the experience, participants discover which Totem Animal they are, based on their answers! The drawing workshop: each participant receives a Tanuki sticker, brings it to life with a tablet, then draws the scenery around it. The mask workshop: everyone cuts out and assembles their mask, which then comes to life in augmented reality. Each workshop lasts about 20 minutes, and you can do several in a row. The group can split between a workshop and the treasure hunt. Everyone leaves with their augmented reality creation.
