America In A Disposable AR


During the summer of 2017 I embarked on a cross country of the United States, beginning in Vancouver, BC Canada and finishing back home in New York. Along the way, I documented my trip on multiple disposable cameras.

I have always found it difficult to decide what I should do with the personal photos I have taken. Instead of the normal ways I would go about showing them, I tried to consider other ways I could utilize them to tell their story.

I built an Augmened Reality application in Unity that could display the photos that I took in an interactive and stimulating way. The AR camera detects an image target, in this case being a logo I designed to signify an area from along the trip where photos were taking. Once recognized, the photos from that respective area are displayed in Augmented Reality around the logo.
