University of San Francisco AR

Commemorating history through interactive media


Overview

The University of San Francisco wanted Tactic to help create a series of miniature AR experiences to bring historical figures to life. This included statues of St. Ignatius, the Lobos, and a plaque of Bill Cartwright.

I was tasked as Lead Engineer and Product Designer to create an application that would allow users to choose from these different experiences and to seamlessly navigate between them.

Development

This experience was created using HTML/CSS, Three.JS, and 8thWall. The two marker-less experiences, St. Ignatius & The Lobos, were created using a SLAM based plane recognition algorithm provided by 8thWall. The marker-based experience, Bill Cartwright, was created by using a flat marker from 8th wall and overlaying a 3D animation on top of the marker. By utilizing a scene system that loads and unloads different scenes, we are able to save on memory and reduce lag.

The rest of the UI was created using HTML/CSS and JS.
