Back to the future - augmented reality lets us see the past
Opportunity knocked for Pooja when her Master’s thesis on creative urbanism, won a significant prize.
Today, her business, SENSEcity offers the UK’s first augmented reality (AR) self-guided walking tour. Pooja says: “I never thought of my thesis as a business until I won the prize, and lots of people in the creative industries told me I should turn the idea into a reality.
“That was the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey. I’ve travelled a lot and have always had a love-hate relationship with walking tours.
“SENSEcity uses sound and texture mapping to create a much more holistic experience for visitors."
Accessed through mobile app - Glasgow walking tour — SENSEcity - SENSEcity works in conjunction with a free booklet, available from tourist offices, bars, and restaurants across Glasgow.

“I love the journey of a project from conception to execution. I have always enjoyed leading projects, even as an architect. I did not dream of becoming an entrepreneur.”
