2nd Story APK

Fixing Potential Streaming Playback Errors

2nd Story maps personal stories onto local places using Augmented Reality technology.

You stand in an empty alley. But you are not alone. Use your smartphone to scan the surroundings. Uncover the past. Find the ghosts. An immersive treasure hunt for today's cultural trackers.

Developed by The Only Animal working with software artist Jesse Scott, the free 2nd Story app allows you to discover stories in the places they happened.
Our community workshops gathered over sixty stories about Blood Alley in downtown Vancouver, chosen as a microcosm of the rapidly changing, highly diverse Downtown Eastside neighbourhood.
The Blood Alley edition will be available through the 2nd Story app on-site beginning September 27.

Multiple perspectives mingle with your present day experience as your explore an invisible social architecture using this narrative map.

We are taking the 2nd Story project to new communities in 2015! Watch the story-map grow here in Vancouver and beyond. Bring 2nd Story to your community.
