Micro ARcade

Abstract or Summary of Project

Micro ARcade explores the idea of adding physicality to augmented reality games, to allow players to explore and interact with their surroundings in a unique and immersive way.

Using augmented reality, this allows players to view the mossy field at a microscopic level, revealing nature’s struggle in the fight against microplastics that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. These pollutants pose a serious threat to the environment, leaving it up to the players to use an AR character to explore and find microplastics to eliminate them, restoring the natural beauty of the mossy field.

Micro ARcade hopes to inspire a deeper connection and appreciation for nature through a ‘phygital’ (physical and digital) experience.
