ITP Thesis: Planet X
Being inside the artists and designer community, I have always thought about how to showcase my work. Deriving from the traditional gallery and exhibition and after going through the two-year-long pandemic period, maybe I can come up with an idea to build something that is online, accessible, and universal. PlanetX was therefore initiated. PlanetX is an online artist and designer community with augmented reality support. Creators can upload their works onto the hub and showcase their work by geolocation.
AR BonSai Design
A piece of BonSai that resumes time and space, and is light enough to carry around. This Bonsai is in virtual form and it replays the cycle of seasons. As living in a concrete urban site, I sometimes hardly find the opportunity to go out often. New York cityscapes are hard to tell the changes unless the temperature hits you. Thus, I create a colorful BONSAI piece to appreciate nature and reflect the good memories that I spend outside the city. The user can move and pan the piece around.
Dream Bubble
This project is designed to create an immersive environment for players, to explore space to reduce stress by virtual reality technologies. Dream Bubble is inspired by a violation of excessive social media influence in personal domains. This virtual space builds a vacancy in daily life to help people meditate themselves. The geometric living creatures and the vivid ambient colors express the paradoxes of personal borders. virtual space with animated "living animals" and mechanics hidden in the landscapes: these objects will trigger spontaneously when the user contacts them.
Sections of the Seasons
This series of illustrations came out as editorial postcard prints and mobile versions. When I started to work on it, the main motivation was to create something that my beloved family members and friends would feel my appreciation of nature in these touchable and deliverable formats.
