The “DowntownWPB Unlocked” app, developed by local tech firm Stet News, uses augmented reality (AR) technology to animate the city’s most notable murals and landmarks. Using just a smartphone, users can scan the area and unlock interactive experiences that reveal hidden stories, facts, and secrets about the city’s rich history.
One of the app’s main features is its ability to bring the city’s famous “Mural Walk” to life. The Mural Walk is a 1.5-mile stretch along Flagler Drive that features over 20 vibrant murals created by local artists. With the app, users can scan each mural and learn about the artist, inspiration behind the piece, and even watch a video showcasing the creation process.
But that’s not all – the app also includes interactive experiences with other downtown landmarks, such as the historic Palm Beach Post building and the iconic Flagler Museum. Users can scan these locations to unlock exclusive content, including videos, podcasts, and even virtual tours of the buildings.
According to Stet News, the goal of the app is to give users a deeper appreciation for the city’s history and culture. “We want people to feel like they’re experiencing downtown West Palm Beach in a whole new way,” said a spokesperson for the company. “By using AR technology, we can bring the city’s most iconic landmarks to life in a way that’s both fun and educational.”
But what really sets this app apart is its focus on community engagement. The developers are encouraging users to share their own experiences and photos with the app on social media, using a branded hashtag #DowntownWPBUnlocked.

- Interactive murals and landmarks
