First time using augmented reality - it's a strange experience as your phone sees things that aren't really there. In this case celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the installation of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's "The Gates" in Central Park. The AR only works when you're in a certain location, the app alerts you when you're at the right place, then you need to scan a QR code and finally you can see the gates. You can't zoom in or out and composing an image is very limited.
You're experiencing things through the screen of your phone while everyone else is walking by having no idea what you're seeing.
