There are 4 different AR experiences that all aim to view the situation of being a refugee,
from both a philosophical, poetical, narrative, or testimonial perspective.
Use your smartphone or tablet to watch the AR-pieces at a chosen spot indoors or outdoors.
Remember headphones for the best experience.
You can experience the AR piece with an updated Android device or an iOS device with version 15.1 or higher.
With iOS devices, you can even scale the character by touching the screen.
