"Late afternoon on Mark-Feingold bridge over the Salzach in Salzburg. Stefan Zweig, author of The World of Yesterday lived on the north bank before fleeing Austria on the brink of World War 2. His book helped define the Wien Chiaroscuro project I was about to undertake: an immersive and interactive XR flânerie in today’s Vienna." -Luc Courchesne
