In this 4-unit course, students will explore the transformative potential of Augmented Reality (AR) as a medium for artistic expression and intervention in public spaces. The course delves into the world of interactive AR art, equipping students with the skills to create site-specific AR interventions that not only transform public spaces but also unlock historically important, unseen, or politically relevant layers of these spaces. The course covers storytelling techniques, audio recording and editing, and the use of Unity and other spatial tools for AR creation, equipping students with the skills to weave complex narratives into their AR projects. These narratives can bring to light the hidden histories, untold stories, and socio-political nuances of the chosen spaces, adding a depth of meaning and engagement to their work. Students will engage in a series of projects, culminating in a final project where they will create an interactive, immersive AR piece for a specific location on campus
