IOCO HERITAGE SITE
AUGMENTED REALITY PROJECT
The City of Port Moody sought to establish a lasting tribute to its cherished heritage site, the IOCO Refinery. Opting for Augmented Reality as the medium for this public art project, the social center of the site has been meticulously reconstructed. The online representation transports visitors back to the 1930s, featuring animated ghosts that narrate a collective tale woven from reference photos and resident stories curated by the Port Moody Heritage Society.
