VIDEO TRAILER: Layers_spatial social network (2024)Our team motivation was to create a billion-user concept based on the Augmented and Mixed Reality Technology. A concept that focuses on people and enriches their relationship with other people and their surroundings in a manner that the visual and presence focus of users are not on a screen, but rather on actual people and places. Other important motivation of ours was to respect the user’s data at all time, hence trying to design from ground up with privacy in mind, so to say: It is private by design. But also, to create a communicative and understandable proof of concept of this idea so that we can communicate our vision to our audience.
VIDEO TEST: Layers_spatial multiplayer (2024)LAYERS is a Spatial Social Network. The word spatial refers to the use of Mixed Reality and Augmented Reality as our main technology for our concept.
Using Mixed Reality Glasses or mobile phones, users can rediscover people and places surrounding them in a manner like never before. LAYERS aims to do all of that by having privacy of our user always in mind.
The main interaction of LAYERS is posting and self-expressing by doing so. Posts can be anything digital content and Users can post on different places, including themselves.
The prototype was realised in the Winter Semester 23/24, for the Augmented and Virtual Reality Design course. It works on mobile phones with Android and Quest 3.
Software: Unity, Photon Engine, Blender, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere
