AR scavenger hunt! See the future of North Brooklyn in Augmented Reality

Look around you to see how NYC is changing! inCitu is hosting an augmented reality Scavenger Hunt of future building sites in North Brooklyn.

Itinerary

The walking tour will start from McCarren park at the corner of Bayer and Leonard where we’ll introduce the neighborhood and development sites and explain how to use inCitu’s mobile app. The walk will be approximately one mile, covering six sites at a leisurely pace. At each stop, participants will hunt for a barcode to reveal the future of the site. The tour will end near Nassau Ave. metro station on the G line, with the option to stay for a chat over coffee. There is also a self-guided option for those who want to finish at their own pace.
