AUGMENTED REALITY MUSEUM
Sculpt AR was the result of a 2 day hackathon at the Pixel Tours lab, exploring Google’s ARcore.
We wanted to build something fun and educational that lent itself well to AR. We landed on the idea of taking historic sculptures out of the museum and into your room. We could let users get up close and explore art in a way they would otherwise have to travel the world to see.

Sculpt AR lets you place 3D representations of famous sculptures into your physical surroundings using augmented reality. It lets you experience 9 sculptures from art history in stunning detail.
Simple gesture controls let you select a sculpture, place it in 3D space, then move, rotate or scale the sculpture to any size you desire. Yes we had some fun with giant sculptures.
Each of the 9 sculptures in the app comes with a virtual plaque that teaches you about the sculpture's origin and history.
