Augmented Reality

The city of Lagos in Portugal is a gem that not only captivates visitors with its stunning beaches and rich history but also surprises with its vibrant urban art scene. In recent decades, Lagos has become a true paradise for street artists, resulting in numerous works of art scattered throughout the city streets. These unique artistic expressions add an extra layer of charm to Lagos and provide an enriching experience for visitors.

Urban art in Lagos goes beyond simple graffiti. It encompasses a wide variety of styles, from colorful murals and thought-provoking messages to more conceptual artworks that prompt viewers to reflect on social and environmental issues. What makes these works even more fascinating is how they interact with the city and its surrounding environment.

To further enrich this experience, a partnership was formed with an innovative smartphone application, X-PLORA, which allows visitors to explore Lagos' urban art in a more interactive way. This application utilizes augmented reality technology to provide additional information about each artwork. By pointing their smartphones at a painting, users can obtain details about the artist, the meaning behind the artwork, and even listen to narratives about the historical or cultural context associated with it.

Additionally, the application includes a GPS system that sends proximity-based notifications. This means that when visitors approach an artwork registered in the application, they automatically receive a notification inviting them to appreciate the creation right there. This functionality makes exploring Lagos' urban art a more engaging and educational experience.

The interactive map in the application allows users to view all artworks associated with the app, making it easier to plan an itinerary for exploring the city's urban art. This tool is especially useful for those who wish to explore all facets of Lagos' urban art scene.
