About
In Partnership with On This Spot (https://www.onthisspot.ca/) we will be running a special event for Culture Days, from September 24th to October 24th.
App users will have a chance to win historical prints at participating Elgin County museums when they use an Augmented Reality camera feature, available now on Apple devices.
Users can use this camera function when they visit several then-and-now photo locations in Elgin County to blend history with the present. With the click of a button, they can insert themselves into historical images or allow nineteenth-century Canadians to walk on our modern-day streets.
Simply post the captured photos on social media and tag participating museums and On This Spot (@on.this.spot) to receive a print!
