Final: Voice + Sculpture + Digital Drawing

 

 
My final project is Lion Roar, which is an AR digital project that I made using Unity. In this project, I combines the three keywords I got: voice, sculpture, and digital drawing. How do I combine them? Here it is. When the user opened the AR app and used the camera to scan a digital drawing of a lion, a lion sculpture will show up in the scene. In the interface, there is a button saying lion Roar. When the user clicks the button, then the voice of the lion can be heard. 



When I got these three keywords, I felt a little bit panicked because I got no idea how to combine these seemingly-irrelated three things. At the ideation stage, I chose to broaden my view by talking to friends, hearing their thoughts, and considering it with other courses' content. Finally, I got an idea to complete this project using AR technology. I thought it would be interesting to connect what I learned about AR technology this semester to this course. AR technology is one of the cutting-edge media for people to express and create. 

Therefore I made a plan to complete this project: 

1. Test the AR image recognition feature 

2. Learn how to add sound and buttons to the project

3. Prepare a digital drawing

4. Search for a 3D model sculpture 

5. Create an AR image recognition app 



For the first two steps, I referred to the learning materials and made sure the project worked, even though it took a long time to debug. To add a button to allow users to interact with it, I search for solutions on the internet and learned how to do it by following a youtube video. That was helpful. After these two steps, I drew a lion using Adobe illustrator. Since I used AI a lot, I did not come across challenges. For the 3D model, I luckily found one on Unity Assets for free. After preparing all these stuff, the following step is to create an AR app using Unity. Everything went well during this process.
