Post Office Park in Kingston, scanned and filled with a gazebo, a mural of faces, wildflower beds and a mosaic that are not there yet

Everyone has a version of a place they love.

Put it there. Invite people in. Let them add to it.

Send a link. They hold up their phone.

An alternative opens in the browser. No app store, no account, no explaining what AR is to your neighbours. Put the link on a sign, in a newsletter, or on the city's page for the project.
