Damien McDuffie is using AR tech to bring Oakland's colorful murals and public art to life, now creating a Black Panther history walking tour in West Oakland.
If you walk around Oakland you'll see a number of bold, colorful murals and public art displays nodding to the rich Black history created in the streets they fill.
Damien McDuffie, a creative technologist and digital archivist, is using tech to bring that public art to life with his app Black Terminus AR. McDuffie creates these seamless immersions using augmented reality - a mix of the digital and physical world., point the camera at any of the 25 public art displays in West Oakland activated by the technology, and watch the magic happen."I'm amazed every single time that it works. I am amazed that people use it. I'm amazed that artists use it," said McDuffie.
McDuffie was first inspired by augmented reality after visiting AR museums in Thailand and Japan in 2019. That's when the lightbulb went off.VIDEO:
