Niantic ARCam

To provide a fun activation at any event we created a physical installation for Niantic that allows visitors to take a short video with any IP that Niantic wants to highlight. From NBA and Pokemon to Monster Hunter and Marvel, we’ve been updating this regularly and i’ve been supporting it from the back-end.

The app includes an easy way to setup a scene, then specify which animations or lighting conditions you’d like along with a lot of optional settings. The short video gets taken and displayed on the screen facing the visitor. Then it gets uploaded to firebase and a QR code leads the visitor to a download page (that i made with Node.JS) where they can get their own copy to share.

Meta hackathon – MR. Chef

We were invited to the Meta hackathon in London to create a prototype for the new Quest 3 headset.

Based on my passion for baking we decided on developing an app that guides a player through baking their own cake. The character guiding them through the steps and offering tips and encouragement.

Lightship Drive

 

To highlight the new ARDK technology from Niantic we proposed a multiplayer AR experience at Immersive Tech Week in Rotterdam.

The game was a success, visitors were able to quickly grab and play the game together, the game was live cast to Apple TV screens and it offered a lot of excitement on the trade show floor.

Operation Market Garden

To demonstrate the power of location based AR storytelling i was allowed to highlight a story from my birth town Arnhem. This app takes players on the same journey that the allied soldiers took when they landed behind enemy lines.

All the visuals, shaders, audio and back-end for this project was made by myself.

DTT AR sales demo

 

To give developers and potential clients an idea of the possibilities of AR, i created a sales demo app. Each example highlights a specific feature and acts as a tutorial for developers and users on how to use it. The purpose of this app is as inspiration to clients of DTT for potential new AR projects. It has been used successfully in dozens of DTT meetings already.

Pirates & privateers

 

This is an app wherein users can compete against each other in multiplayer mode either face to face or on a distance. They play on an AR water playground which activates when the phone camera is aimed at a marker. Aside from battling against opponent, the user has to strategically deal with the crew on the ship during the game. I made an updated version of this app that implements native AR instead of Vuforia.

AR children books

 

For publishing house Zwijsen, i created 7 augmented reality applications (iOS + Android) to enhance their educational kid’s books.

I took care of every aspect: UI, game logic, audio, animation and publishing the app to the Playstore and Appstore.

The apps I made for Zwijsen have over 12.000 installs altogether.

Sol.AR

In this app people can learn about space using AR, place the solar system in your room and walk up to a planet, it shows you basic info about the planet you’re looking at. If you want you can then land on the planet’s surface and learn more about it.

Mosa AR tile viewer

A tile company called Mosa wanted to attract visitors at a convention with an AR experience.

I created an app for the ipad that allows users to choose a tile and when scanning a marker on the wall, it projects a portal to a room where these tiles are used.

DDI AR/VR app

The province of Utrecht wanted to visualize a new intersection they’re planning to build, a diverging diamond interchange.

We decided on making an app that combines AR with VR, while in AR you’re able to select a viewpoint to view in VR. This way you can switch from an overview of the highway to a one on one perspective.

The app is build for android and IOS, links will follow.

Aryzon model viewer

For a couple of months working at Aryzon gave me the opportunity to experiment with AR interaction and computer vision. The aryzon goggles use your smartphone to project your phone-screen to a semi-transparent glass in front of your eyes. By using your smartphone camera it can recognize its surroundings and place an image on your phone relative to your surroundings in real space.
