Anyone following the Hamilton mayoral election this year can become part of the story through their tablet or mobile phone.
In what is a first for New Zealand politics, Hamilton mayoral contender and four term City Councillor Angela O’Leary, will be using a technology known as ‘augmented reality (AR)’ as part of her campaign leading up to the October election.
With augmented reality the user becomes part of the online experience. For users it combines their real world, with an augmented world.
