The immersive awareness campaign combining traditional printed media with augmented reality to educate people and get people talking about hidden disabilities in the workplace.
So far we have developed 12 interactive posters as below. Here they are displayed in their animated state but click on any for the ready to print poster file which also includes the activation QR code...

#power

Purpose: visualisation and audio to better inform users of the challenges of over stimulation that Autistic people experience in the workplace.
