Inspiration

The idea for FunScape AR came from my passion to blend digital entertainment with the physical world, turning everyday environments into interactive playgrounds. I aimed to create a unique augmented reality experience that entertains while encouraging users to discover and engage with their surroundings in new ways.

What it does

FunScape AR brings a variety of animated 3D characters to life in the user's immediate surroundings. With a simple tap, users can interact with creatures like a friendly robot, a lively dinosaur, and more, each with unique animations and sounds that enhance the immersive experience.

How I built it

I used Adobe Aero, particularly its Geospatial Creator, to accurately place my 3D characters within real-world coordinates. Every character was carefully crafted with individual animations and sounds, designed to react to interactions within the AR setting.

Challenges I ran into

The primary challenge I encountered was the limitation of testing location-based AR functionalities, as they were not operational in my region. To overcome this, I collaborated with a contact in Brookline, who helped me with the necessary testing. Fortunately, Adobe Aero's intuitive platform mitigated many potential difficulties, allowing me to focus on the creative aspects of the project.

Accomplishments that I proud of

I am especially proud of creating an AR experience that is not only fun but also stable and responsive. Seeing our characters come to life in a real-world setting and watching users interact with them has been incredibly rewarding.

What I learned

Throughout the development process, I gained deeper insights into location-based AR and the technical nuances of creating interactive 3D content. I have also learned about the importance of user experience design in AR applications.

What's next for FunScape AR: Interactive 3D Characters in a Dynamic World

Moving forward, I plan to expand the character roster, introduce narrative elements, and explore additional interactive features such as gamification and educational content. I aim to continue refining FunScape AR to push the boundaries of what's possible in augmented reality.
