This project was to be featured in a friend's magazine. Sadly, it wasn't accepted. However, the experience and knowledge gained from this project is something to note on.
This project was inspired by the spiritual Buddhist concept of the Eightfold Path. Buddhists believe that in order to reach inner peace, one must practice the eight noble teachings. Each teaching is represented in the rotating wheel portion in the augmented reality asset.
Brainstorming & Research
Research / Notes
Visual Brainstorm
Visual Brainstorm + Ring Design
Because the project was originally intended for a magazine page, I brainstormed ways to integrate the QR code into an editorial design. I also designed the look of each "ring" corresponding to the Eightfold Path teachings.
Code
I used A-frame and AR.js to create the Augmented reality Experience. I used this online platform as opposed to a program so that the experience could be accessed by both Android and Apple users.
Assets
Individual Eightfold Rings
Final Asset
