Layers of Place: MIT Augmented Reality Exhibition

The exhibit, Layers of Place is a curated collection of seven location-based AR experiences encouraging exploration of often unseen dimensions of MIT’s public spaces—uncovering layers of history from forgotten pasts to overlooked presents and speculative futures.

These seven AR projects, created by a range of international artists, engage with themes of memory, migration, identity, place-making, and speculative storytelling:
