Avida Towers AR

An early web-based augmented reality experiment for Avida Towers – Global City. A visitor prints a marker from the website and holds it up to a webcam; the apartment plan appears on the marker as a 3D model that turns with it. ARToolkit was integrated with the web platform so the plans could be viewed without special hardware.

a game for ONGC

An interactive game installation for ONGC, built around a story about sustainability. Players followed a superhero through several levels on a touchscreen. The game logic was written in ActionScript 2.0 and the 2D story sequences animated in Flash: the opening, the transitions between levels and the ending.
