LJ WW1 Augmented Reality App
Walk around Loughborough Junction and your curiosity maybe aroused by colourful paving slabs. These slabs can bring to your device three stories about Loughborough Junction during World War One. A different colour for each story.
The LJWW1 app recognises each paving slab in the trial. Capturing the pattern on each slab triggers the augmented reality (AR) story experience. AR allows you to hold your smart device up to objects and see an image, video and or audio which isn’t there.
The story unfold by following a colour coded trial of ordered paving slabs as you walk along. All three trials end at the Cambria Bridge on Cambria Road. The stories are fictional but draw on historical accounts of people who lived in Loughborough Junction. Check out the website to find out all the information www.ljww1.org
The Cambria Bridge was successfully regenerated through the 7 Bridges project, another successful project by LJAG.The app draws on the history of the area and art from the 7 Bridges project. The final AR experience for each story is contained in the “Emerging Eye” artwork on the bridge and provides a coda to all the stories.
The map set out below details the three different routes around Loughborough Junction of the three stories:
