Tiptop Augmented Reality Cozy Game
2023
The premise of this project was simple, I wanted to explore designing for Augmented Reality and play with 3D modeling. However, throughout the project I developed a true passion for the medium. It adds a layer of technology to our exisiting reality as opposed to disconnecting us from it.  

My final proposal was for an AR tabletop social simulation gaming app. I wanted to create something playful that could be enjoyed by all ages. The app has users seek and discover unique characters and tabletop AR villages, all while forcing users to go out in nature. It capatilizes on the hidden world aspect of AR, by layering a playful colorful reality on top of ours.

I used Reality Composer to create the AR app, and Mixamo to create the character animations. All conceptualizing, visual design, 3D modeling, animations, and art direction was done by me as part of my visual pitch -  this project is one that would be best developed with seed funding, and a full team of engineers and designers.
