IDEA

UWE Bristol working with Aircards wanted to create a mobile AR experience that users could use to explore the layout of the various parts of the campus. As well as let users hear from some of the students talking about the various aspects of the campus.

CHALLENGES

The experience would need to be small enough for users to use over the internet without the need for downloading large amounts of data. This would mean a graphical style would need to be developed to enable any 3D elements to have the smallest file size possible.

SOLUTION

Using 8th wall's AR platform as the base a 3D design style with a very limited polygon count was developed. The experience enabled users to place a simplified 3D view of Bristol into the real world and explore the various campuses. Clicking on the campuses would play streamed content meaning the experience was fast to load and only loaded content as the user requested it. The experience was in the end so small the developers and animators were able to add extra content to the scene to further enhance the users experience.
