People who check out Art On the Streets, a downtown art exhibit held in the city of Colorado Springs in Colorado, can now make use of an innovative and high-tech new walking tour app that is designed to make it easier than ever for them to go about learning more about the artistic installations that they see, not to mention the artists behind them.
The so-called Otocast app, which is available through the Google Play store, allows users to identify each of the 11 pieces of art on display and hear the artists talk about the significance of their projects. This is a particularly useful feature given the fact that not all the artists are from the USA, with some hailing from Europe and South America.
Ultimately, the Otocast walking tour app makes for a more engaging and enjoyable experience for art patrons and enthusiasts.
