Help Bring Seattleβs First Janeβs Walk Mobile AR Experience to Life! The Seattle Chapter of the VR/AR Association is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking new initiativeβ Janeβs Walk Seattle! In partnership with the Downtown Community Council and inCitu, we will be creating Seattleβs first-ever Janeβs Walk with augmented realityβand we want YOU to be part of it.
Janeβs Walk is a global movement that encourages people to explore their neighborhoods, share untold stories, and use walking as a tool for connection. This June, weβll transform downtown Seattle into an immersive experience that brings Seattleβs future to life.
Call for Volunteers Weβre looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help in two ways:
1. Be Part of the Creation Team (NowβJune 7): Join our weekly working sessions leading up to the event. Youβll collaborate with creatives, technologists, and urban storytellers to shape the AR experience at each location.
2. Event Day Guides (June 7): Join us on the day of the walk to help guide attendees as they use their mobile devices to access and explore the AR experiences along the route. You'll help people engage with the stories and the tech on-site, one city block at a time.
