Propose an augmented reality application for a mobile device that runs on iOS or Andriod. This new app should fulfill the need of either a consumer or professional in one of the following locations: City space, Museum (art, science, etc.), Zoo, Amusement Park, Home, School or Office.
Begin by brainstorming an idea, then answer these questions:

- What value does your app bring to your audience?
Once you have answered the above questions and written your short proposal create a user flow diagram for your application, paper prototype and UI design comps.
