For the Milano Design Week 2024, Metagate has developed two parallel augmented reality experiences accessible via smartphone and headset, in collaboration with Yasmine Mahmoudieh at Lampo.
The smartphone experience was created on the Over the Reality platform. This phygital experience aims to highlight the artist's narrative, who used recycled plastic reprinted in 3D for her creations. In AR on Over, the lack of physical limitations was leveraged to position a giant 3-meter chair. Additionally, a water mirror with floating plastic bottles was added; clicking on the bottles transforms them into the artist's works. Another interaction allows users to digitally "flood" the space, with the water mirror expanding and filling the room (thanks to occlusion technology) to emphasize the underlying risk of rising oceans.
For those who want to try the headset (Meta Quest3), one will be available on-site, allowing users to manipulate the design object: moving it, changing its color, and enlarging it using just their hands (no controllers)!!
In the experience, it is also possible to redeem a commemorative NFT POAP!
