Abstract

The literature of Andrés Caicedo Estela (Cali, 1951-1977) continues to find readers since its rediscovery in the 1980s. It addresses the results of an I+C project that involved the design, prototyping and creation of an application (APP) that allows to travel through the city that inspired his works, making use of immersive and interactive narratives to generate immersive virtual experiences through augmented reality, overlapping planes and post-screen exploration (Cizek, 2016), among those interested in the work or the author, guiding them through tours of Cali, known as the ‘Sucursal del Cielo’ (Heaven’s Branch). According to the results, it is important to create similar experiences with other creators or storytellers, enriching the tourist and cultural offer of the city.
