Gruffalo AR

I'm excited to present my latest project: an augmented reality (AR) app that brings the beloved British children's book The Gruffalo to life! Using Unity and AR Foundation, this app lets users dive into the magical world of The Gruffalo with interactive storytelling and playful animations.

We used reality capture to scan physical Gruffalo toys, reconstructing them in stunning detail. These models were animated using Maya to create lifelike movements, all while staying true to Axel Scheffler’s whimsical original illustrations from the book.

Key Features:

• Image Tracking: The app features four immersive scenes, each triggered by scanning two images. A custom logic detects the angle between the two pages, scaling down scenes seamlessly as the user turns the page, enhancing the flow of the story.

• Interactive Experiences: With AR ray-casting, users can interact with various objects in the story. For instance, you can tap on the mouse’s imagination bubbles or move a log in Scene 2—letting you immerse deeper into the narrative!

• The Gruffalo Comes to Life: In the final scene, place a physical Gruffalo toy on an "X" mark, and watch it spring to life in the app, offering an engaging and delightful surprise.I'm excited to present my latest project: an augmented reality (AR) app that brings the beloved British children's book The Gruffalo to life!
