During the development phase aimed at meeting the specific requirements of the Sweetwater Preserve Forest in Gainesville, Florida, a prominent architectural feature was designated for the entrance to the Paynes Prairie—the Augmented Reality Hub. This compound, encompassing 10,000 sqft, was thoughtfully designed to accommodate several key elements essential to the project's success. The primary components integrated into the compound include a welcoming center with a modest exhibition space, a small auditorium with a striking glass wall affording panoramic views of the adjacent marsh, and a versatile multi-use space purposed for immersive holographic projections focused on the site's nature and historical significance.
