This project stems from the desire to combine interactive 3D content, technology and graphic design. Augmented Reality (AR) allows us to merge digital content and information with our physical world, in 3D space. This project restricts its exploration to mobile hand-held devices, such as smartphones and tablets. It aims to explore this upcoming medium, in an attempt to leverage our existing 3D content creation knowledge in the development of multiple AR experiences that share the same medium — the printed poster. It focuses on exploring graphic possibilities enabled by using this medium and its underlying technology to understand what can be done and how it can be done, given current limitations. The project does not delve too deeply into complex interactions, focusing on the basics of AR. This experimentation results in a cross-platform mobile app that enhances a series of fifteen printed posters through animation in three dimensions, culminating in an interactive exhibition where the viewer can control how the content is seen.
