Mid progress

During my AR class, I saw a great reference that can use it in my project. It is called "EyeJack". With your mobile phone, when users place it on the drawing, small animation will trigger. 
​I wanted to make an AR book with my sketches. So when sketches are detected, short gif animation will play with different sounds that I've recorded in the Washington Square Park.
​

Also, for the sound, I recorded the ambient noises in the park. And I did some interviews with people who are reading books. 

Somehow, I weren't able to figure out how to upload a gif file in Vuforia.(Unity) So I made an alternative for the interactive piece for now. When the sketch is detected, the sound and the 3d animation figures will trigger.

​Pick a NY community that you wish to document for this class.
Visit the neighborhood and sketch on-site
Collect a few sketches of specific objects/details that you discover which are typical/unique to that community.
Create an interactive prototype using that sketches you’ve made
Document and publish your process


I picked "Washington Square Park" as my NY community since I often pass by the place. Whenever I feel tired of computer and need some rest, I go to Washington square park with a cup of coffee and sit there for a half an hour, listening to my favorite music. It is my way of releasing stress! (and I'm pretty sure a lot of other NYU student does same :)

​The weather was perfect on the day I went out for sketching. After I decided to sketch the place, I started to look for objects that can define the park. The most known object would be the Washington Square Arch. As a starting point, I drew the front view of the arch. Also, I remembered how beautiful the night view of the park is. So I started drawing street lamps

I wanted to make a google map with my sketches. If you click/tap on the street lamp in the first sketch, the screen will change to the second sketch.
