Behind the Scenes at the 15th Annual Peony Festival
A sneak peek behind the scenes at Peony.
Durham College Augmented Reality
In 2019, Durham College students, under the supervision of Durham College faculty member Linda Cheng, designed new Augmented Reality (AR) technology to encourage the community to explore and learn about one of Oshawa’s premier parks, the Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens. The community can use the technology to learn about the park, identify points of interest and launch a navigation guide between landmarks. This was a partnership between the City of Oshawa and the Durham College’s (DC) Office of Research Services, Innovation and Entrepreneurship and School of Media, Art and Design, and an initiative through TeachingCity Oshawa. The City is excited to see this pilot project enhanced and expanded through future collaborations with DC students. Just click over the icons on the map for the area you wish to explore.
