We're at the Sydney Knowledge Hub at Sydney Uni! Thank you to Sydney Knowledge Hub and EyeJack (eyejack.io) for helping us organise the space!
As always, we are eager to showcase Augmented Reality demos from the community — do you have an AR creation you'd like to show at the event? It can be anything from a prototype to a released app! Students, tinkerers, enthusiasts, agencies — all are welcome! Get in touch and let me know!
We're also on the lookout for some speakers as this is just a "save the date" placeholder for now — if you're keen, let me know!

Talks from 7pm
EyeJack — EyeJack x Lincoln Center Immersive Series
EyeJack will be showcasing two recent EyeJack projects developed for Lincoln Center’s Immersive program in New York, Archive of Dance and Safe Space. Both projects demonstrate how they use augmented reality to transform public spaces into immersive storytelling environments.
The presentation will cover their creative and technical approaches, including how they used LiDAR scans and WebXR to build spatially accurate AR experiences. They'll also walk through their collaborations with the New York Public Library and artist Miles Regis to bring their work into AR. They'll touch on accessibility, interactivity, and what’s possible when digital art meets cultural heritage.
