While at the park, you'll be able to see physical frames located in the park - these look like empty picture frames. These frames act as triggers to start the games on a mobile device. Games feature native wildlife where you can help a turtle, frog and microbat search for food.
How to use:
1. Download the Smart Canning app. If you'd like, you can use our free WiFi: CityOfCanningFreeWiFi
2. Open the app
3. Look at the frame through your device to interact with it. There are instructions within each game that help you work out what to do.
Other AR frames allow you change environment conditions such as oxygen levels to see the impacts this has on water quality, or you can take a photo with a 3D animal.
The app also features an interactive map to find facilities like drinking fountains, USB charging points and bike racks in the park.
For two to three people, you can stand in front of the frame. If there are more than three of you, try standing behind the frame for the AR triggers to work.
No. You need the frames located in the park to act as triggers for the games to be played.
All apps on your device will impact your battery life. The Smart Canning app also uses your camera which can cause your phone to drain faster than normal. To try and save you batter life, switch your phone to low power and turn off background apps. You can also use one of the charging stations in the park (BYO charging cable). Find the locations of charging stations in the map within the app.
