Cubbon Park history will be at your fingertips: Report

Cubbon Park is one of Bengaluru’s biggest landmarks and a mark of pride for the city. Walking through the park is set to become simpler and a lot more interesting. How does a digital park guide sound?

FlippAR – an app based on augmented reality software – in collaboration with the Horticulture Department, is planning to develop an app that facilitates interactive signages in the green space, just like the ones that are already installed at Lalbagh and at the Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium.

“The signages will act as on-spot guides for visitors. All one needs to do is open the app and point their phone at the signage placed before the statue or the heritage structure,” said G Kusuma, Deputy Director (Cubbon Park), Horticulture Department, in a Times of India report.
