READ NOWThe students produced a total of eight AR experiences featuring stories including the origins of PMH, the Noongar story about the origins of the Milky Way, Subiaco’s famous Aleppo Pines and the history of Subiaco Oval.
“The project saw Year 10 students working with the AR technology on a series of stories designed to reflect and respect the rich history of the Subi East precinct,” DevelopmentWA chief executive Frank Marra said.
“These students have been provided with the chance to hone their skills in a new technology, while gaining a deeper understanding of the rich history of their community.”
The AR experiences are available to the public seven days a week at the Subi East Community Hub located in Subiaco Square, near Subiaco Train Station.
