Location: Belfast City Hall, Exhibition Rooms 7, 8 and 9
Dates: 1st October 2024 – 31st March 2025
Set in the heart of Belfast City Hall, this magical visitor exhibition uses cutting-edge digital augmented reality technology to offer visitors interactive ways to explore the stories of Belfast.
Visitors are invited by an animated seahorse from the Belfast Coat of Arms to experience the digital magic of augmented reality as the city’s hidden river is revealed, walls crumble to uncover secret passageways, and books open to let their stories take flight.
The immersive journey begins in a virtual library, where you can explore Belfast’s words and accents. Flying books tell their stories, and portraits reveal interactive hidden secrets.
I’m incredibly proud to have been involved in this project in my parents’ home city; I collaborated on two featured exhibits, and created the city-scape story “The Chip And The Poke”.
