Nature Illuminated
Augmented Reality Treasure Hunt
Nature Illuminated is a bright, sensorial adventure that uses technology to bring the Four Seasons to Life at the the astonishing Chinese Garden of Friendship.
Guests were able to embark on an Augmented Reality treasure hunt to unlock mesmerising animations of local plants and animals around the Garden, including more mythical creatures from the beautiful Dragon Wall wood carving.
Technology
The experience was created using WebAR technology, meaning the it opened on the mobile browser, with no need to download an app. Using WebGL, we were able to illuminate all the AR animations with bloom and glow effects to really make them shine and come alive in the garden.
Interactive maps of the garden made it really easy for guests to navigate the treasure hunt and unlock all the AR touch points.
