Case Study
Microsoft and Upwork partnered with ARS to turn research about a future city into an interactive 3D model for augmented reality and a trade show.
A mobile AR experience developed for Microsoft and Upwork.
Microsoft and Upwork envisioned a digital future city that could be presented at a trade show. They provided ARS with research about how cities may change, including shifts in work, transportation, delivery, housing, energy, and entertainment.
ARS used that research to create a 3D city in Unreal Engine. The finished application lets viewers explore the model in 3D or place it in a real environment with augmented reality and view information over the city.
A collaborative project developed from research about how a future city could work.
ARS used Unreal Engine and ARKit to build the city model and its augmented reality features.
The application presents the city as an interactive 3D model and as AR placed in a real setting.
The model combines realistic materials and lighting with points of interest that help viewers navigate the proposed city and its ideas.
ARS translated client research about work, transportation, delivery, housing, energy, and entertainment into a visual city model.
Users can place the virtual city in a physical setting, explore it from different perspectives, and view digital information over the model.
The application includes an approachable interface, camera snapshots, and both 3D and AR viewing modes.
Watch the future-city model move from a digital concept into an augmented reality presentation.
