A SERENE pocket garden in the heart of George Town – Armenian Park – magically transforms into an “art gallery” thanks to the possibilities of augmented reality (AR).

The ARmenian Park project utilises AR to display digital content when park visitors download an app, scan the codes on display stands at the park and point their smartphones in certain directions.
