1. team time machine, a phone app which used the artwork as a “qr code” to augment reality of the art, adding color to sculpture or historic images;
2. team pez head, a makerbot project which used digital cameras and free software to produce 3D prints of 20 sculptures;
3. team schroddon, which made QR codes for each object linking to the Walters website for the object, with a map and you are there feature;
4. solo team working on walters data development relationships (used by other team);
5. team badgify the walters, mobile app to read about works, and edmodo quizzes about work, award badges and prizes;
6. team Waltours, wayfinding using google maps buildings;
7. team Frame, app, elegant simple, objectss with categories, map location, but no images;
8. team Tanzaku app, mobile visitor feedback for each object, based on current exhibit of written messages.

A church right in the centre of the political district and attended by many influential political figures, yet renowned for its religious teaching rather than political involvement or touristic value. I’m definitely visiting them anyway!
