What makes this experience truly special is its integration with Genestreaming Augmented Reality Sculptures. Community artworks & photos are featured in a digital sculpture that also tells the story of Earth—linking local species, ecosystems and our shared environmental future. Your organisation purchases a monthly or annual subscription and offers free access to residents, students, clients or visitors.  Ideal for councils, schools, conservation groups, and tourism businesses. This program fosters creative confidence, nature connection, and meaningful local engagement. Contact your local council or organisation to join the program. Extend your tourism with a Genestreaming AR Sculpture for your clients. Or create your very own personal or family Augmented Reality art sculpture.
