Part
Part is a public digital art platform built using augmented reality that allows users to create, share and discover public art in the built environment
At MIT Hacking Arts in 2017, Julian and I set out to work on Part - envisioned as a digital public art layer on our real world. The idea was simple - to leverage augmented reality to allow the public to create, share and experience art in the public domain.
We wanted to enable public digital expression in the built environment and we aimed to make our technology available for:
private citizens to create digital art within their local community
corporations to engage with local creatives and build relevant AR content
During the hackathon, we developed the idea, business model and initial prototypes for Part. For our efforts, we were adjudged one of the 8 finalist teams at MIT Hacking Arts 2017. We continue to work on Part, to differentiate our business and develop it into a fully featured platform.
