Mornington Peninsula Augmented Reality Trail

Arts and culture touches everyone, connects our community and helps build and shape our identity. We know that our community wants more free arts and cultural activities, trails and to activate underutilised spaces. It is our aim to increase access to arts and culture activities through the innovative use of new and emerging digital technologies. Accessible to all, and designed to offer free and fun participatory experiences.

In collaboration with schools, foreshore committees, historical societies, chambers of commerce and artists, the Mornington Peninsula Shire has developed an augmented reality trail from Portsea to Rosebud.

We invite you to experience the Mornington Peninsula differently with this range of augmented reality (AR) experiences.

Be taken back in time, and see what Portsea and Sorrento looked like more than one hundred years ago. Experience a family of humpbacks flying through the sky at Blairgowrie. See the Rye Fisherman and Capel Sound dolphins murals come to life. Experience flying a kite in the sky or even design your own!

Take a photo, screenshot or video in the EyeJack app and share your experience of the Mornington Peninsula Augmented Reality Trail on your socials. Don’t forget to tag us @mornpenartsandculture @ourartsandculture with hashtags #mpARtrail #artforeveryoneeveryday #morningtonpeninsula #augmentedreality
