Augmented Reality (AR) goes beyond the dichotomy of passive methods of engagement with the public. It offers an interactive method to expand visualization techniques in participatory planning processes. This paper discusses three mobile apps developed by a partnership. These apps support a series of community events aimed at increasing overall public participation and civic engagement with a goal of increasing awareness of community history through data visualization and storytelling.
