You ever feel like you really need to get some work done but the dang trackpad robots just won't give you no room?

Lately I've been feeling pretty burnt out from my workload so I decided to turn this AR project into a fun literal interpretation of my resistance towards doing any more work this semester.

The "site" is the laptop I use for schoolwork, on my desk which is also where I do my schoolwork. The "viewer" is me, a college student hopelessly behind on his deliverables, and the "object" is a bunch of happy-go-lucky robots freeloading my precious trackpad real-estate (good thing I brought a mouse!).

I modeled and rigged the robots in Blender, and applied different looping mocap animations I found on Turbosquid.

Shoe sweet shoe.

The video is made with XR Remote, but I had a lot of technical difficulties so I couldn't do everything I wanted to do with the project.I really wanted to let the viewer explore the shoe in 3D, walk around, get in close to see small details about the shoe. I also wanted you to be able to tap the screen and set the shoe on fire.

The point was to have the user engage with a kind of ordinary object, and make them do it in an unconventional space(close to the ground).
