We use augmented reality to bridge the gap between traditional media and interactive exhibits. By using your smartphone or tablet device, an image, sculpture, or location enhanced with AR becomes a multi-sensory experience as the viewer gains the ability to interact with 2D graphics, 3D models, graphical interfaces, view animations and streaming video, listen to narration, sound effects, and or music.

With the Augment El Paso WebAR app, the viewer scans enhanced artwork with their smartphone or tablet device, and 3D graphics begin to populate the display screen. The AEP app uses preconfigured tracking data within the artwork to tether the 3D graphics directly to the image, causing it to remain in a fixed position, while allowing the user to view the media from different positions and distances. The viewer has the ability to interact with the digital content and activate animations with the 3D models, audio and video, and can also be directed to external websites for additional information or content related to the artwork being augmented.

Augment El Paso began as a collaboration between digital and traditional artists, and passionate individuals to enhance the El Paso Del Norte region through unique art, showcases, educational workshops, and service. Now over ten years later, owner David Figueroa continues to produce AR works for museums, local government, businesses, and artists across the southwest.
