EcoVision AR

Environmental storytelling through mobile-based augmented reality

Project Overview

This project allows users to experience environmental changes through mobile AR. By scanning real-world surfaces, users reveal animated ecological scenes—melting ice, deforestation, coral bleaching—layered over their physical space.

Message

To raise awareness of climate issues by immersing users in interactive, location-based storytelling that fosters emotional connection to nature.

Technologies Used

  • 8thWall WebAR / Unity AR Foundation
  • Location-based storytelling

Ideation & Development

Sketches & development evidence.

Pre-Prodcution Work

These pre-production images document the physical AR trigger used in EcoVision AR. The fox installation was tested on site to evaluate placement, scale, and lighting conditions, ensuring reliable image recognition and a clear entry point into the AR experience.

The isolated reference image was used to study form and visual focus, supporting the decision to guide users to scan the head of the installation as the AR activation point.
