Holographic Storytelling

Mixed reality experience that overlays historical narratives onto physical spaces using WebXR and AR.js.

Holographic Storytelling

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.

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

01

Concept Research

Analyzed historical preservation techniques and user interaction patterns in public spaces to determine optimal storytelling approaches.

02

Prototype Testing

Created cardboard mockups to test spatial relationships and user flow within physical environments before digital implementation.

#03

Implementation

Built the core experience using WebXR and integrated with cultural institute's historical archives for content curation.

04

User Testing

Conducted field studies in urban environments to refine gesture recognition and spatial soundscapes based on public interactions.
