AR Storytelling

Tales for the Future Generations:

AR Children Book

We make AR books with extraordinary effects and make stories come to life to provide a stimulating learning experience for children. We re-imagine how the next generation can experience the illustrated stories in a playful, immersive and inspiring way.

We've created a series of popup 3D scenes to encourage children to step into the infinite reality with Yayoi Kusama and get inspirations from her life story.

Role | concept, scene design, interaction design, AR development

            collaborated with Yohe W., Chris L., Chenlu W.

Tools | Unity, C#, Vuforia, Rhinoceros, Blender, C4D, Nreal Light

Overview.

In this demo, we've augmented a children book "Yayoi Kusama: From Here to Infinity." This colorful children book illustrates the life stories of the artist, Yayoi Kusama, who grew up with nature and was in love with art, suddenly found herself had a vision that everything in the world was covered by arrays of polka dots.

AR Design.

Selected Pages from the Children Book Yayoi Kusama: From Here to Infinity

Prototype.

We created AR contents popping up from different pages of the book by using Vuforia in Unity. And we used Nreal, a light-weight XR headset, for the mixed reality experiences.
