User Scenario

UX / UI Design

Lens Prototyping

Snap Inc. Sponsored. The Future of Storytelling with Augmented Reality is a transdisciplinary studio that will explore the next phase of narrative design using cameras, machine vision, machine learning, augmented reality, and game development software.

What is Live Sketch?

Explores how the machine vision models interpret a simple human input and context to author unexpected AR content. 

 

Users can share their sketch with friends for them to add to and view in the network. 

 

Generates unique 3D objects based on the sketch inference, as well as, the objects, spaces, and people recognized in the scene.

Inspiration

Evolution of the English Alphabet

Simple letterforms evolve over time to have a deeper meaning for humans

How would something like this work for the future of machines? what meaning would they derive from simple drawings?

"What if the machine could create deeper meaning out of simple gestural illustrations which humans created? How could this evolve over time?"

We were able to signify the technology in which machine learning can identify a 2D image into a whole new 3D Assets.

Interaction Mockups

Asset changes based on context and environment: Sketch becomes a surfboard on the sand and when users moves the camera to the ocean it transforms into a shark.

Animation exploration of how assets can morph between one another in real time.

Making it Social: Sketches can be shared but will always be different based on what’s in the environment
