36 Days of Augmented Reality Type

36 Days of Augmented Reality Type
36 Days of Type is a yearly challenge that invites people to make creative
interpretations of the letters and numbers of the Latin alphabet (0-9, A-Z)


I challenged myself to create the characters in augmented reality using
Adobe Aero, and to share some of the techniques I tried during the projects.


0 - Multiple stacked transparent PNGs layers for a Z-fighting look
1 - Using mobile phone screen as an Image Anchor 
2 - Mirror illusion with reflected Dimension asset. Fake button press with behaviors.


3 - Optical illusion character modeled in Cinema 4D
4 - Frames drawn as layers in Fresco, animated
5 - Rotating characters animated in Cinema 4D

6 - Animated people from Mixamo
7 - Segmented character animated in Cinema 4D
8 - Laser cut acrylic aligned with Cinema 4D animation


9 -  Fractured mesh made in Cinema 4D
10 - Animation triggered by tapping on screen while pressing a key with the other
11 - Fake touching, animation triggered by tapping on screen with other hand 
​​​​​​​

C - Multiple sets of triangles merge  
D - Aiming behavior on many duplicates
E - Drawn in Medium

F - Multiple layered animations that sync  
G - Tumbling effect with Aero Spin and Move behaviors
H - Particles falling of an edge with Cinema 4D physics


I - Large letter from the Aero Starter Assets
J - Cinema 4D animated dynamics, triggered with Tap in Aero
K - Using logo on hat as an Image Anchor


L - Walking L animated in Cinema 4D
M - Multiple copies animated in Aero with Behaviors.
N - Cut up character in Cinema 4D. Animated one point perspective in Aero 



O - Someone reacting to the virtual content
P - Peeking inside a revolved letter
Q - A letter as a quarantine lockdown home  


R - Huge letter from Starter Assets
S - Letters on the vertices of a sphere
T - Peeking inside a stretched letter  


U - Oddly satisfying physics loop
V - Controlling visibility based on angle of view
W - Growing shapes with Scale behavior


X- Under floor effect with occluding carpet
Y - Beveled and textured letter from Dimension
Z - Animated letters with Move and Scale Behaviors
