Coventry University showcases augmented reality exhibition

An exhibition in Coventry is using augmented reality (AR) to showcase artworks by disabled and neuro-divergent people.

The work, created by members of Coventry University’s Disabled Staff and Carers Network and Arts Riot Collective, explores personal experiences of living with health conditions.

AR is technology that adds digital elements like images or sounds on top of the real world when you look at it through a device like a smartphone, tablet, or AR glasses. One of the artworks is a digital kite decorated with hand-knitted birds which is said to symbolise community support.

Titled This is me This is us, the exhibition runs at Coventry Broadgate Square until 31 October.
