GC7R82P AR_Through The Looking Glass (Unknown Cache) in Colorado, United States created by RPieperCO

This cache has been archived.

Geocaching HQ Admin: From June 06, 2018 until March 06, 2019, Geocaching HQ conducted an Augmented Reality (AR) experiment. During that time, cache owners were allowed to submit Mystery Caches that required the finder to download and use an AR app to find the cache. The goal of the experiment was to see how the geocaching community would use AR technology. Cache owners placed more than 600 AR caches around the world!

Unfortunately, the AR apps which met HQ’s requirements for the experiment have been or are currently in the process of being discontinued. As a result, it is currently not possible for finders to have the AR experience that was originally intended. Therefore, HQ has decided to archive all active AR caches placed during the experiment period. We are respectfully requesting that all AR cache owners please remove the cache container and contents as soon as possible.

As technology evolves, we look forward to seeing how Augmented Reality might have future applications for geocaching. Thank you to all cache owners who participated in the experiment!

Geocache Description:

How exciting to try something new!!

This cache is part of an experiment that allows the use of Augmented Reality (AR) apps to find the cache. At the end of this experiment, Geocaching HQ will decide if this cache will be grandfathered or archived. Geocaching HQ reserves the right to archive this cache at any time if conditions change. If you have found this cache and would like to give feedback on your experience, please fill out this survey.

To get started you will need to download the Metaverse app on your smart phone.
App linked here: on iOS or Android.

With the app installed, go to the posted coordinates. Open the app and the Experience should show on top under "Now", if not, search Through the Looking Glass or search for @RPieperCO and open the titled experience. You will chase after the bunny with a clear set of "maps". There are some fun items along the way. A couple tips... Stop before hitting the next button. If you still have issues with "finding" the AR, there should be an option to turn AR off and then it will play out on your phone as opposed to being projected somewhere around you. This may be helpful if data is weak or if the AR is just too hard to find or read.

Load Experience HERE if you are unable to find it otherwise.

Hope you all enjoy this experience! I hope this is a real and lasting new cache type like Wherigo's!! It's fun building and a neat experience!
