Abstract

With the pandemic lockdowns, society was confronted with its social relations and everyday routines and how it relates with the conformity of life. To understand how we may evolve from this experience, past and present history (knowledge) comes to fruition, and its importance becomes paramount. So, an alternative way of information availability and relation gives ground to experiment with new ways of story consciousness, of true and unbiased knowledge about anything. This chapter presents a form of augment community search for purpose and consciousness through current and future technology. In the case of augmented reality, and how information its exhibited to the public, it brings a lively dimension as if information becomes commonly present in this reality, as past meets the now, as history is alive in the present. This chapter shows an example of how, in a context of an urban exhibition, a life tales' exhibition in an emptied neighborhood of Porto city, augmented reality might connect and socially relate people, either locals or tourists, with interesting information.
