Design Season has been created for and by Leicester’s design community. Everyone was invited to get involved & help to create a Leicester design community-generated brand. Following previous years, a circle template could be download & customised.
Through Graff.io Arts I was asked to find an AR solution for this that incorporated these user generated circles. This event was going to be an online only format due to the Pandemic, so I was keen to find a solution that was interactive, playful and perhaps most importantly, could be applied to any space.
I modelled them in 3d, refined the textures and lighting and gave them interactive properties. Crucially for this project the AR was not locked to a marker, so these 3d circles could now be dropped into anyone's reality & the interactive properties could be explored.
