For this project, I used EyeJack, an application for desktop and mobile devices that allows you to create posters and view objects using augmented reality to create my own poster.
I came up with the idea by thinking about my interests, and how they could look in an AR environment. I chose to have a Pokémon appear on the screen, because the idea of it appearing on the screen and squawking at the viewer seemed like an appealing concept to try creating.
The animation was acquired from this link, which is an archive of animated Pokémon sprites and gifs that are available to export and use for personal projects (very convenient). Initially it was supposed to move across the image, but the animation played strangely in practice, so I opted to scrap it.
The only other issue I encountered was being unable to edit the sound in EyeJack itself, which leads to an unfortunate case of the squawking sound being spammed repeatedly. If I had known that beforehand, I would’ve adjusted the duration of the video to account for that.
Below is the poster created with EyeJack for the QR Code, and AR integration, as well as photoshop for the layouts. Follow the instructions on the bottom of the poster to get started.
Be warned, the sound is LOUD. and it rapidly replays because its only a few seconds long, so lower your device’s volume before scanning.
