Since this project got quite a bit of attention, I wanted to test it further. On Friday, I took off from Heathrow Terminal 5 for Berlin.

Forgot my @specs at home, so using @LensStudioDev to run my ‘Plane Spotter’ to find the aircraft that I’m on after the flight took off.

@EngRecruitingg Thank you very much 🙏🏽

[Shahnanigans @shahwalishayan]

@torovictorioso @specs I agree!!! The potential of what you can do is incredible and I think the future is exciting! 😎

@bradywells9 @specsfordevs @HeathrowAirport @specs @LensStudioDev @Snapchat @Snap Thank you! Appreciate it🤘🏽

I built a tiny LIVE table-top @HeathrowAirport for PLANE SPOTTING on @specsfordevs @specs 👀
Planes land, take off & park using live public flight data + interactive info cards
Made using @LensStudioDev by @Snapchat. Plane-obsessed kid me lost his mind when this worked in #AR🥲

PLANE SPOTTER FOR @specs

The idea came from seeing plane spotters lined up by @HeathrowAirport with cameras, binoculars + notebooks.

I was obsessed with planes and miniature airport dioramas as a kid, so I thought: what would plane spotting look like in #AR?

‘Ghosts of the Past’ was shown at @saatchi_gallery in London for the @BritishArtFair at their inaugural digital art section, Pivotal: Digitalism. Honoured to be able to showcase my piece - an exploration of an #AugmentedReality self-portrait using @SnapAR
