A WebAR Prototype created for

Niantic Studio: Real-World Impact Challenge

Selected as One of the Two Most Creative Prize Winners!

​

​​​This playful WebAR experience invites visitors to explore a real public library digitally. Players step into a cozy reading room from wherever they are and tap on five interactive objects to reveal delightful surprises. Each discovery fills a check mark box, and once all five are found, a bonus invitation is unlocked.

​

I used Scaniverse to capture a 3D Gaussian splat of the reading room and built the interactive scene in Niantic Studio, using TypeScript for logic and UI. This project brought together many of my favorite things: 3D, AR, books, and lighthearted animation.

​

🛠️ Tools Used:
• Niantic Studio (scene setup and scripting)
• Scaniverse (for capturing the reading room)
• TypeScript (for interactivity and UI)
• Maya & Blender (for modeling and layout)
• Mixamo (for character animation)
