The Worlds : Surrealistic Fantasy

Augmented Reality

The Worlds: Surrealism Fantasy is an immersive AR experience designed as a getaway experience for those seeking a break from the fast-paced city life. Inspired by the growing trend of “city detox,” the project invites visitors to explore three unique micro-worlds of abstraction, wired-cored aesthetic playground, and mysterious forest. Each offering a distinct environment to escape routine and dive into imagination.
By simply scanning a QR code with phone, visitors step seamlessly between physical and digital realities. Each “world” transforms static space into dynamic. The project creates inclusive story-driven experiences that reimagines how we engage with space and imagination in a hybrid world.

What inspired you to make this project?
Inspired by the growing demand and hope for “city detox, I wanted to create an opportunity for temporary getaways that transcend physical and temporal limits. My project allows people to seamlessly jump between digital and physical universes, offering immersive escapes anytime, anywhere.

What are some of the challenges you have encountered and how did you address them?
A key challenge was turning static 3D objects into dynamic AR interactions. By experimenting with motion and interaction design, I prototyped solutions that set the stage for a more engaging next-generation experience.
