What would we need from you?

We Shine Festival 2022

We are looking forward to We Shine Festival 2022, and thrilled to be creating an Augmented Reality Illustrated Animal trail. We will be showcasing our students' work, university staff work and work from a range of artists, designers and illustrators. 

Animal illustrations will be found around Portsmouth which, when viewed through a smartphone, will come to life with a digitally augmented layer.

See We Shine Festival for more info.
