This paper reports on an on-going research project called ‘The Augmented City’ which aims to create augmented reality (AR) experiences in the city of Helsingør. The paper describes and discusses two ‘sensitising workshops’ intended to promote bodily, affective, and ecologically aware ways of relating to our urban surroundings.
