Neil Ever Osborne

Toronto-based nature conservation photographer Neil Ever Osborne spent his last 15 years documenting environmental stories around the world. Opening his first fine art gallery, entitled ‘HOME’, he reached out for help with how we could leverage XR technology on-site to better convey the backstory of his photographs.
Home: AR is an interactive visual storytelling experience in collaboration with National Geographic Explorer and Conservation Photographer Neil Ever Osborne and his fine art gallery debut in Toronto.
This project explores the use of Augmented Reality in connection with some of Osborne’s work surrounding environmental conservation, to enhance the guest experience and provide them with exclusive contextual behind-the-scenes content from the field.

The main challenge was to utilize existing content from story assignments to immerse and enhance the user gallery experience, all while introducing another channel of storytelling.
We wanted to give guests both context and a better sense of place as to the home & history behind these images and where/how they were created and help guests relate better to the images, through a more personal intimate connection.
Using Augmented Reality and image recognition technology, we developed a mobile app for IOS devices to trigger specific video content when specific images were scanned. With iPads hosted on site at the gallery, guests were able to hover the device camera over the framed artwork and unlock exclusive content.
