Creativity and technology can help heal the earth.
eARth is an interactive AR application I developed with a fellow student at the University of Iowa that integrates animations to inform the user about how their daily use of resources contributes to climate change across the globe.
The earth is in your hands.
By using an interactive app interface, eARth provides a hands-on experience that will put climate change into perspective for the user in a unique and memorable way.
The app is available to beta test below.
Technology
I created the animations for eARth using Adobe Creative Suite, specifically Illustrator and After Effects. These alpha channel videos were then integrated into a Unity AR interface. Unity uses the Vuforia AR engine to track the targets and display the images in the AR environment. The Unity engine provides all the underlying technology to present the variety of videos to the user in a seamless way inside of the 3D environment.
