Case Study: Graff.io Arts brings public artwork to life with Swipe & Tap's AR platform

Graff.io Arts launches AR experience across 5 towns and cities with Swipe & Tap

Graff.io Arts, a creative organization focused on blending traditional art with digital technology, needed a technical partner to build a reliable and scalable augmented reality platform. Their challenge was to create seamless cross-platform AR experiences that would allow users to unlock digital content by pointing their phone at public artwork, all supported by a backend that enabled future growth without developer involvement. They engaged mobile app development vendor Swipe & Tap to realize this vision.

Swipe & Tap developed a complete solution consisting of native iOS and Android apps using ARKit and ARCore for high-performance AR, supported by a custom Laravel CMS for content management. The result was the successful launch of the platform, which played a central role in campaigns across multiple UK towns and cities. This helped the client evolve their offering into Street Stories, a broader platform that enables councils and communities to transform public spaces into interactive cultural experiences.
