This project was done during a hackathon that was held in Singapore University of Technology and Design, themed Augmented Reality (AR)/ Virtual Reality (VR). Our group aimed to design an AR application that is capable of conveying meaning through the form of 3D art.
There are five different sections to this application. The first two involves the architectural design that SUTD students produce - an interior design of a room and the exterior design.
The second display showcases an optical illusion that gives off a 2D view when seen from the front but its true structure comes in a 3D cube stacks.
For the third structure, it demonstrates the earth rotation from a bird's eyes view. Lastly, the hand represents a person in need of help with an underlying message on the wall that can only be seen from an angle.
