Shimé @ JW Marriott Anaheim

An ARKit exclusive experience, Shimé (Japanese for "binding") brings a truly modern art cultural experience to the JW Marriott Hotel in Anaheim, California. Using 3 steel outdoor sculptures as the stepping stones of an augmented reality narrative, Shimé walks guests through a mind-altering meditative installation that encourages you to become part of a magic garden hidden on the West Deck at the Hotel. The steel sculptures no longer just blend into the background - they are interactive and grow with you through your digital interactions.
Tracing the life of a plant from Seed to Sapling to Tree that grows out of your decisions and meditations, Shimé empowers you to "Be the Tree" - becoming a digital living sculpture that grows on the West Deck and is nurtured over time by the repetition of your mantra during repeat visits (once per day). A truly innovative and cutting edge experience unique to JW Marriott, Shimé raises your consciousness while displaying a cutting-edge new style of digital art at real-world scale. Come bind yourself to the JW Marriott Anaheim West Deck, and unbind traditional art expectations.
