Stories in Motion: Chinatown AR Showcase & Community Feedback Weekend
Hosted by ELIXR Simulations
Join us for the first community playtest of the Azure Dragon mural's new Augmented Reality experience.
Be among the first to experience a brand-new augmented reality (AR) application through Edmonton's Chinatown and help shape its future. Join ELIXR Simulations on Saturday from 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM for a free community playtest of our AR experience created for one of Edmonton's Chinatown murals.
Using your smartphone, you'll unlock digital content layered onto the mural, experience local innovation firsthand, and share your feedback to help shape future enhancements and potential expansion of the experience.
Whether you're curious about augmented reality, enjoy discovering local art, or simply want a unique activity before Chinatown After Dark, we'd love to have you join us!
Stay for Chinatown After Dark!
Our playtest overlaps with Chinatown After Dark, an evening filled with incredible food, culture, and entertainment which begins at 6:00 PM. After experiencing the AR mural, stick around to enjoy the evening's food, culture, and entertainment.
Participant Perks
🧋 The first 40 participants will receive a free drink coupon
