Augmented Reality App centered around Jazz Musicians in East Liberty in Pittsburgh. When user points phone at certain parts of the mural, a 3D gramophone appears and music from Billy Strayhorn, The East Liberty Presybterian Choir or Gene Kelly in Singin' in the Rain begins to play. If the user walks away, the app holds their place in the audio file so it picks back up from where it was when the user points their phone again at the image target.
