@bpowtweets My friend @NY2Dance (also Chicago-based) has a lovely AR dance app called A Dance for A Time Being: https://t.co/54uLa9flDM

@bpowtweets @JoannaPopper @iBrews @kathrynyu @gillesjobin1 Yes, I did an early release at the Designing Interactive Systems Conference in Pittsburgh. It's conceived around the framework of a music record and uses image tracking, so intentionally you need the physical object to experience it. Happy to DM if you want to know more!
