Ghosts in the Park

by Cole Kinnunen

This interactive Augmented Reality project was created using BlippAR. To view, download the BlippAR app on your phone or tablet. Open the app, point the camera at the image(s) below, and tap "tap to scan." Make sure your device sound is on and the volume is turned up. Interact with the augments by tapping. Enjoy!

This is a project about and for the residents of Pelham Bay. Pelham Bay Park used to be the spot for hang outs, parties, everything you could think of, but after COVID-19 hit, those places look more like a ghost town, abandoned relics of places they once were. I ask that, while experiencing this project, you allow yourself to be taken in. Watch each once for as long as you deem necessary. Imagine yourself, your friends, your family in these places that once were, and let it interact with you. I hope you enjoy, stay safe and healthy.
