Citizens on Friday had a unique experience of Gandhi at the Augmented Reality (AR)-enabled exhibition displaying the Mahatma’s life.
Organised at Mahatma Gandhi Park off MG Road, the exhibition was applauded by tourism minister C T Ravi and freedom fighter H S Doreswamy for its innovative and immersive presentation.
“We are in an advanced technological era where everything is smartphone-driven. Presenting Gandhiji’s life through AR is a positive initiative that will be effective and interactive,” said the minister.
Doreswamy said Gandhiji saw technology and machine as complementary to human effort.
Developed by Bengaluru-based start-up 4Point2 Technologies, the AR-based representation allowed visitors to down the markAR app and scan Gandhiji’s image to understand his life through music, speeches, images, documentaries, movies, and 3D projection.
