Augmented Reality Postcards
Delve into five augmented reality scenes inspired by the women interviewed for Tsunagu/Connect.
New Earth Theatre has collaborated with artist Natsko Seki to illustrate and design five Augmented Reality Postcards. When the back of the postcards are scanned it will activate a 3D model and trigger the augmented reality scene. Each postcard tells a unique story.

From a lonely bedsit in West London, Japanese student Mayumi sends a cheerful postcard home to her parents in Japan.
