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 users to explore a real public library digitally. Players step into a cozy reading room from anywhere 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 captured a 3D Gaussian splat of the reading room using Scaniverse and built the interactive scene in Niantic Studio, using TypeScript to handle logic and UI. This project brought together many of my favorite elements: 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)
