The AR project “Biocybrid Fables: Borges' Fantastic Creatures” is a tribute to the renowned Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, commemorating the 200th anniversary of the independence of Latin American countries. It was made to celebrate in Buenos Aires, at the invitation of the curators of the event “La Edad digital” and inserted the fantastic creatures of the Argentine writer as synthetic objects, modeled in 3D, that is, in Virtual Reality (VR) that expands into Reality Augmented (AR) technologies that allow pasting images in scenes and in this case, the creatures were added to the urban scene, through Mobile Augmented Reality (RAM) technologies. It was visualized using cell phones on the streets of the city of Buenos Aires while an AR cyber installation was carried out in the building's internal scenarios. For the cyber installation, instead of a mobile device, AR was used in computer vision through a camera, and the images appear in a book, placed on a desk, in an installation project at the Centro Cultural San Martin, with the creatures being inserted for reading , using Augmented Reality tags to what was called AR for the reinvention of the act of reading.
