AR Message Tree

Project details

The Ministry of Immersion introduced a new Immersive Pop-up AR App for GITEX 2020, revolutionizing how users interact with static posters. This app enables users to transform ordinary printed visuals into dynamic 3D AR experiences that can be accessed across all devices. By simply scanning a poster, users can bring static images to life, such as watching a tree bloom in real time. The app also introduces a social engagement feature, allowing users to post messages on the "Augmented Tree" and send them back in a fun, animated way using only their smartphone.

Key Features

  • Post & Read Messages: Users can submit their own messages and read those posted by others in an interactive AR space.
  • Interactive AR Posters: Transform printed posters into animated, interactive 3D experiences with a single scan.
