•The Third Eye function is GPS triggered and visitors can chose to be notified if they pass a location where an artwork or an event once took place.

The Jupiter Artland app has been developed through collaboration between the Jupiter Artland Foundation and Edinburgh Napier University Centre for Interactive Design. Jupiter Artland Foundation is a registered charity, which provides free educational visits to schools, universities and other formal educational organisations. The Foundation’s mission is to get every school child in Scotland to visit or experience Jupiter Artland for free.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
