Perot Museum: Artifax Augmented Reality App

An interactive AR experience for the Perot Museum, transforming tablets into digital scanning tools for a gamified fossil excavation.

Digital exhibit

I prioritized fluid motion and custom interactions to ensure the experience felt both playful and bespoke like only a museum experience can bring.

UI/UX

To drive the discovery user-flow, the art direction utilizes a palette inspired by soil topography and anthropological charting. These distinct color-coded layers serve as a functional UI framework, helping young users navigate depth and time while maintaining a playful, high-contrast aesthetic suitable for an interactive AR experience.

Finding fossils with AR

I worked with the developers to architect a live interactive experience that mapped the real life area, ensuring constant orientation and seamless navigation throughout the digital journey.

UI & Motion

I designed fluid animations to intuitively guide young users through the registration and calibration, turning a technical setup into a seamless, playful tutorial.

Next Project: T-Mobile

A modern virtual office or conference space with multiple levels, featuring digital screens, tables, and chairs. Small stylized figures of people wearing white, some with virtual reality headsets, are engaging in various activities. The background includes vibrant pink and purple lighting effects with geometric shapes and green stylized trees.
