Holographic Storytelling
Mixed reality experience that overlays historical narratives onto physical spaces using WebXR and AR.js.
About This Project
This immersive installation bridges physical and digital realms by projecting interactive historical narratives directly onto architectural features. Users engage with 3D reconstructions of historical events through spatial audio and holographic visuals.
Technologies
Key Features
- • Perspective-aware holographic projections
- • Location-based story triggering using geolocation
- • Multi-user spatial audio experiences
- • Dynamic historical data visualization through AR
Behind the Projection
Spatial Mapping
Utilized plane detection and environmental understanding APIs to map physical spaces in real-time, creating contextually accurate projection surfaces for historical reconstructions.
AR Integration
Implemented physics-based rendering to create accurate light refractions and depth perception, making holographic elements appear as natural extensions of the physical architecture.
Interaction Design
Designed gesture-based navigation system that allows users to manipulate holographic artifacts through intuitive touch gestures and voice commands.
Performance
Optimized for mobile XR devices with adaptive resolution rendering and occlusion culling techniques to maintain 90fps during complex scene transitions.
Development Process
Concept Research
Analyzed historical preservation techniques and user interaction patterns in public spaces to determine optimal storytelling approaches.
Prototype Testing
Created cardboard mockups to test spatial relationships and user flow within physical environments before digital implementation.
Implementation
Built the core experience using WebXR and integrated with cultural institute's historical archives for content curation.
User Testing
Conducted field studies in urban environments to refine gesture recognition and spatial soundscapes based on public interactions.
Visual Documentation
Historical Layers
Visualization of archaeological data overlay
Spatial Interface
