Dream Scene - The Forest

I've had a dream that I was walking in the forest. Trees are tall and big, everywhere is in green. I'm roaming in the forest and enjoying the fresh air.

I made this AR dream scene with Apple's ARKit to simulate what I saw in the dream.

Midterm Project :: Freebies 

Here is a video of our midterm project: Freebies

App :: Freebies

Mission :: 

Freebies is an AR scavenger hunt game that uses your phone’s camera to reveal secrets and rewards when players crack the clue.

The mission of Freebies is to help students save $$$ and promote NYU’s Events and connect students. NYU students often receive many emails about free activities, events, or meals that happen throughout the campus. 

For that reason, Gordon and I see the opportunities to implement the existed events with Freebies. The game brings students alive with a fun interactive activity with its hidden element of challenge and mystery.

These are example emails I usually received weekly about NYU’s events.

Email: Events with Free Food at NYU.

Email: Free Flu Shots NYU Offer to Students.

Email: Free Popcorn & Movies.

Behind the Scenes:

We used Vuforia and 3 images for our core elements.

The first image target is an old arcade game. We wanted to make use and to bring life back it.

We used only part of the arcade's console as an image target. At firs,t we tried to use only the screen part but due to reflections, the image tracking was poor.

The overall look of the unused arcade game.

The second image target is the Game Center’s floor map. By using what is available (the floor plan can be seen on the wall of the hallway), we simply made an animated red sphere to navigate the player to the last location.

Floor Plan of the Game Center. We added green and blue squares to increase image targets stars to 5 stars in Vuforia.

The last image target opens the portal again and reveals rewards.

The Last Image: We used the overall front look of the Donkeykong arcade.

In the last stop, the player will be rewarded. The rewards randomize between Cash, Coins, T-Rex, Poop.

Each object may symbolize :

Cash = $30 Gift Card for Seamless.

Coins = $10 Free Coffee at Pret.

T-Rex = Free Tickets to Movies.

Poop = Nada. Bad Luck. Play Again.

Week2 Homework Indexical Storytelling

In TV show "The Walking Dead Season 1".

Merle was hooked on pipe by Rick, since he'd used violence action and insulting language to T-Dog, and implied racism to other survivors.

Rick asked T-Dog to unhook Merle when they were about to evacuate from the building, but T-Dog lost the key into a sink. in front of Merle.

Every body left the building, but not for Merle. Finally, zombies occupied the building and shortly reached the roof.

Merle tries to get a saw by using his belt. Of course, Merle did not want to be teared by these undead.

Rick lead other survivors get back to the camp, but soon, they come back to the building for Merle.

But Merle is not there anymore. The scene astonished Rick and others.

A bloody handcuffs...

And Merle's right hand...
