Have you spotted any sharks swimming upstream in downtown San José? If so, pull out your phone and scan the QR code to experience an innovative augmented reality (AR) experience.

"100 Sharks – Stitching Districts," is a major new public art and AR project led by the San Jose Downtown Association in partnership with SJSU artist Jim Fonseca (Jimmy Paints), the City of San José Office of Cultural Affairs, San José State and the San Jose Sharks, the project entails the installation of 100 artistically painted shark murals along the pathway.

This innovative collaboration will transform the petrian experience between San Pedro Square and the SAP Center, creating a vibrant, connected corridor now being called "Sharks Way."
