A child stares into a miniature shop window, surrounded by an enormous cardboard diorama of a detailed cityscape with 5-meter high skyscrapers. The art installation, called Micropolis, is a 10 x 10 x 5-meter cardboard city with AR projections, created by Davy & Kristin McGuire for Hull UK City of Culture in 2017. The immersive art experience uses video projection mapping to depict a bustling miniature city glowing with night lights as tiny people go about their lives.
