Guide Tube
San Francisco
The Guide Booth was developed for Market Street as a way to provide contextual information to citizens and visitors by overlaying graphic data onto the surrounding city.
The booth is a clear cylindrical enclosure made of aquarium-grade acrylic, laser-etched with diagrams that align precisely with the urban environment. Seated at its center, users experience a 360-degree view augmented with information such as future building heights, historical layers of the city, infrastructure, flight paths, and hidden systems below ground.
By using static, physical graphics rather than digital screens, the Guide Booth creates an accessible, durable form of analog augmented reality embedded directly in the public realm.
