Swiss Discover

Sarahmontani × Swiss Discover

Nine spheres,
nine lakes,
one augmented Switzerland.

The artist Sarahmontani sets a single luminous sphere on each of nine Swiss lakes, from Geneva to Zug. Every one lives only in augmented reality. Find it on the map, stand at the shore, and let it rise from the water through your screen.

No app required. Open a sphere from the map and tap AR. On iPhone and iPad it launches in AR Quick Look; on Android in Google Scene Viewer. Each sphere can also be saved straight into your trip.
