The Unreal Garden debuted in Denver last week and we were so excited to be one of the first to experience this immersive augmented reality (AR) experience!
The Unreal Garden invites guests to tap into their inner child and discover unbelievable animal characters in an interactive holographic story spanning the sky to the ocean, and the earth to outer space. Appropriate for all ages, The Unreal Garden offers a story-living experience unique to each individual, while simultaneously allowing for the creation of shared memories as part of a group. Unlike traditional museums which feature static artwork, or modern arcades in which people isolate themselves with stationary virtual reality headsets or via screens or projections, The Unreal Garden allows visitors to explore interactive, three-dimensional holographic characters and worlds as they venture through physical spaces while being able to maintain eye contact and presence with their companions.
“The Unreal Garden is like stepping into a future world that combines the benefits of technology and the connection of shared human interaction in one experience,” says Enklu CEO and the experience’s creator and director, Ray Kallmeyer. “Think of it like a silent disco of holograms; without an AR headset, smartphone or tablet, all you’ll see is an empty space. Place yourself inside The Unreal Garden, however, and a new world will spring to life.”
The Unreal Garden features art by renowned and emerging local artists including Android Jones, Chris Dyer, Michelle Kohler, The Orchestrator (MusicianNFT), and Cosmic Cuts Barber Shop, among others.
The Unreal Garden is located at 500 16th St. Mall, on the second floor of the Denver Pavilions. Tickets are $13.99 for children ages 5-13 and $29.99 for general admission adults and are available Sundays and Mondays from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Wednesdays through Saturdays from noon to 10 p.m.

I was hosted at this event so I could share with my followers, all opinions are my own.
