AR testing for a poster project. Despite the limitations on file size, you can Harry Potter a piece of paper!
Made with HP Reveal and After Effects. The videos are recordings of Detroit: Become Human from my purposeful gameplay report.

A version of this post originally appeared in the Created section of a 365 Notebook project for July 6, 2018.
This is a continuation of both experimenting with Vector3.Lerp() in Unity 3D and figuring out some reset options in the Simple Simon game I’m using to develop a Simon game system for my AR Independent Study final.
I wanted to create an idea from a dream that involved having an AR trigger that required the user to use sliders in the correct pattern to reveal a message. I want to use this idea in an ARG someday.
This was more complicated than I thought it would be – instead of just using a standard shader and tying the slider value to its alpha, I had to create my own custom shader and use SetFloat().
The textures are movie textures I created in TouchDesigner. This was reposted by @TouchDesigner.
Because it frustrated me so much, I created this tutorial:
How to create varying transparency shaders
We showed off our work at the XR Showcase held in Ohio University’s Game Research and Immersive Design (GRID) Lab in Scripps Hall.
Here is our team’s work, C.R.I.M.E. Sim:
I got a lot of photos of Owen‘s Interactive Box Fort because I love anything that uses space well and uses affordances of space and existing objects. He’s really good at this!
This demo in the Ed Tech Conference Showcase is giving me ideas! I’m thinking of adding Dash, Kibo, and Cue to my fake Interdisciplinary Programming Logic course I’m making a unit for for a final project.
Got to experience Laurie Anderson’s Chalkroom VR piece. I love how they turned the Green Room in the GRID Lab into a space that made it feel even more immersive.

We presented our work for the semester, C.R.I.M.E. Sim. We didn’t win any awards, but the judges did not experience or watch our work. We did get visited by the college president, though! These guys are talented and fun and I’m happy to have had a chance to work with them.
