Instructor: Daniel Rodriguez & Kendrek Lyons

As the Rubin Museum of Art prepares to close its doors, RubinYard ensures its legacy lives on—anywhere and everywhere. This innovative augmented reality (AR) app transforms the city into an open-air museum, breaking down physical barriers and making Himalayan art more accessible than ever.
Through immersive AR experiences, users can explore intricate thangkas, mesmerizing mandalas, and awe-inspiring sculptures in their own surroundings. Designed to engage a younger, trend-conscious audience, RubinYard blends cultural heritage with digital innovation, encouraging social media interaction and making Himalayan art a trending topic.
