Interactive AR/VR Event Experience

Experience Digital Content Within the Real World

Another Reality Studio developed an interactive AR/VR event experience for a recent Arch Grants Gala. The mobile app showcased two augmented reality solutions and one virtual reality application for the event. The first station featured a virtual AR portal with a physical door to walk through a virtual art museum using an iPad.

The dynamic environment included a room flooding with water over time. In the adjacent VR station, attendees could view a training app or tour a virtual home on the Meta Quest 2 headset. The 3D map experience station allowed users to see the growth in Arch Grant awardees over time, visualized in augmented reality through an interactive tabletop map of St. Louis, MO.

Challenges and Core Considerations

• The client asked ARS to develop an application to highlight Arch Grant awardee history and showcase an interactive AR/VR experience for gala attendees.

Impact: Design Your Space with Augmented Reality

• ARS created a custom AR/VR application that runs on iOS mobile and a Meta Quest 2 headset. This application promotes Arch Grants to Gala attendees in an immersive and memorable view
