This free app guides you around California’s state parks using augmented reality on your phone.
Some people head out into the wilderness to disconnect from technology and modern life. For others, well, there’s this new thing – an app that guides you around California’s state parks using augmented reality on your phone.
Virtual Adventurer is a free app from TimeLooper that’s meant to enhance your visit to a state park while you’re actually there — with historic stories read by voice actors, holograms, 3-D reconstructions and various AR bells and whistles. Right now it’s loaded with packages for nine parks, including three within striking distance of the Bay Area: Jack London State Historic Park, Point Lobos State Natural Reserve and, a bit further afield, Bodie State Historic Park.
“We’re excited to launch the Virtual Adventurer app that further provides opportunities for Californians to access the cultural, historic and natural resources found across our beautiful state,” California State Parks Director Armando Quintero says in a statement. “The app also supports and enhances the department’sby developing content for parks that tells a more complete, accurate and inclusive history of people and places.
Once you download the app, you can install guides for your preferred park and take them for a spin once you’re there. At Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, for example, you’re led around by an Afro-Latina traveler with the late-1700s
