virutal tree with dark red leaves obscures a work station in the background
October – December 2020

Tree offers an opportunity to bring elements of a natural environment into the often stifling dullness of contemporary work and living spaces. An interaction prototype for an augmented reality relaxation experience developed using Swift ARKit and RealityKit, Tree invites people to engage in the simple activity of playing with leaves. If pushed further, the audiovisual aesthetics would be enhanced, and other interactions, such as naming and caring for one’s tree, would be added.
