Frozen AR Effect, 2015 - 2016
During this project we needed to communicate with both Disney and Sony, providing them with builds and then implementing changes based on their feedback each milestone. This project was handled in-house so I provided specifications to our animators and artists for needed assets.
I worked in Unity with Sony's Xperia package, making a "Frozen"-themed surface effect as well as facial filters. The facial filters were masks that made the user appear as a character from the film, and the Xperia AR SDK allows taking selfies of this AR Effect. The app is an Xperia device exclusive.
The surface effect was a small scene contained in a snowglobe, with the characters Olaf, Anna, and Elsa. The characters would interact with their environment and each other through several animations such as a snowball fight. The player could move characters around the snowy scene and take AR photos and videos.
- Developed interactable 3D world and characters with touch and drag behaviors
- Implemented facial recognition effects in Sony Xperia AR environment
- Worked with Disney and Sony to deliver on client visions
