Is AR art available right now?
Not yet. AR features are in development and will be announced when they become publicly available. Until then, the map works without AR and you can still explore public art and street art in your city.
Public & street art
AR art and augmented reality art
AR art uses augmented reality to add a digital layer to physical places, from guided storytelling to interactive scenes. On art.kubus, AR features are in development. You can still discover local art today with the public art map and street art map while we ship AR carefully and transparently.
What AR art can add to public space
Augmented reality art can turn a wall, sculpture, or plaza into an interactive experience. It can add context, audio, narrative, and digital layers that are not visible at first glance. Some AR art is site-specific, triggered by location, markers, or timing, which is why accuracy and accessibility matter as much as visuals. The best AR experiences respect the real place and make discovery richer rather than distracting. That is why AR needs clear availability and honest product messaging.
How art.kubus approaches AR (coming soon)
We treat AR as an additional layer, not a replacement for the map. Features are marked as coming soon until they are production-ready. We avoid misleading claims, keep data minimal, and prioritize consent for analytics. We also design for graceful fallback: if AR is not available for a place, the map still provides useful public art and street art discovery. When AR releases ship, they will be announced through the roadmap and updates so you know exactly what is available.
Use the map while AR is in development
You do not need AR to discover local art. Start with the public art map for installations and monuments, then use the street art map for murals and painted walls. City pages help you discover art in your city and compare coverage across nearby places. If you find a missing work, submit it so others can explore it too.
Join the waitlist and stay updated
If AR art is your main interest, join the waitlist so you can try new releases early. Subscribe to updates and follow socials for progress milestones. We would rather announce AR availability a bit later than ship an unclear experience that confuses users and search engines alike.
