JAE YEON LEE 2023
Phase 1
Ideation 1: AR tracking device
Target Users: People loving to visit resaurants/places using blogs/instagram.
Fuction: And I thought maybe people are interested in AR can use these he VR glasses to register and record their action. And other people with ta AR glass can look into a famous blogger’s AR trail and follow their exact steps at a place. This way they can limieffectively visit / go to places that are necessary. Maybe in the future people can look at the rating system to see wh and choose a person with a good rating and make a business out of this.
Inspiration:I was inspired by the book, Hansel and Grettel. The girl in Grettel in the book used bread crumbs to help her parents to follow her and find the witch’s house.
Devices: AR head set, Device to help start / end the trail.
Ideation 2: We are nature
Target users: Anyone interested in wearing an AR headset.
Funtion: Trees will slwoly grow in the span of 15 minutes and can shake and drop leaves when the user moves. They wi The user can look at a mirror to see what’s happening to them.
Inspiration: I was inrpised by a slogan brand. Their moto was that Humans are part of nature. So, I wanted to create tree branches growing from a person’s body to hypothetically show how we might look like if we were fused with nature itself.
Devices: Masks with Face tracking points on i all over it’s face / mirror
Ideation 3: We are nature
Target users: People who need a wake up call.
Function: Wearing the AR set, a person will walk through an endless cycle of a 3D Mobius trip model. And when they’ve walked around it once, there will be an alarm sound whispering to them to WAKE UP in their ears. Other people can watch the person through a screen on the side.
Inspiration: I was inrpised by the “Mobius Trip” where it’s a loop that goes on in an endless cycle. And I thought it looked like our lives as well. Our lives are like an endless cycle where everyday seems to be the same
Devices: Screen on wall (to track movement in the VR world) / Projector(Project the floor.) / AR glasses
Ideation 4: Fluff
Target Users: Anyone dreaming of walking on clouds.
Function: There will be a projection of a city upside down and will be filling the entire room 360 degree. And people will be able to walk around freely, while the clouds will follow the person’s movement. Where ever the person steps, there will be clouds forming around it.
Inspired: I was inspired by “Inception”. It’s a movie where they are sent into a dream world where it is filled with a person’s desires and dreams. And I thought I wanted to create a world where it can fufill their dreams. And I thought, why not create a world where they can walk on clouds? That has always been my dream to walk on clouds. And I’m sure someone else would love to do so as well.
Devices: Multiple projectors (to fill the entire room 360 degree with a scene) / AR glasses
Ideation 5: Us
Target Users: Anyone interested in hearing my personal experience of nature.
Function: There will be four different sets of nature around the room. People will be able to enter each set, shaped like conch. And then crawl inside the conch shaped set. And when they enter, they will be able to vividly hear sounds of the set. (eg. river, mountain, ocean, plains, etc) And they will be able to visually see the projection of those places projected on the sides of the set.
Inspiration: I was inspired by a conch. I remember vividly how each conch sounded differently and I remember collecting them and bringing them back home. And when I put my ears on the conch again, the memories of the place flew right back into me like a crashing wave.
Devices: Foam board, speakers, projectors (a lot), spray paintv
Phase 2
Creating various shapes using Animation snapshots and Motion paths.
Phase 3
Creating different shapes using Maya and Ableton.
All the shapes and objects will change it’s size and shape according to the sound and beat created in Ableton.
Phase 4
Creating faster interactions using clearer sound beats using Ableton and Maya.
Small clicking sounds
Hard construction sounds
My final deicision:
Creating an intestine and changing the shape of it according to different sound beats created using Ableton.
The City is “ALIVE”. Hongdae is
“ALIVE”. -> Thriving is “ALIVE”.
The City is “ALIVE”. Hongdae is
“ALIVE”. -> Thriving is “ALIVE”.
Phase 5
Creating intestine figures using “sculpt deformers”.
Initial design
Applying meat hypershade color
Applying rough meat texture
Phase 6
Creating a more detailed version of the intestine figure.
Applying sculpt deformers to the polygonic intestine figure
Overall shape of the polygonic intestine figure
Inside view of the refined polygonic intestine figure
The ball interacting with the refined polygonic intestine figure
Final version of the refined intestine figure
Phase 7

Phase 8
First time animating the final project using Maya and simple extrude options.
Syntheyes rendering screen
First draft of the intestine project
1. Created a series of PNG files in Premiere Pro
2. Assorted the names of the PNG files using Fast stone.
3. Input and render it using Syntheyes.
4. Transfer the Syntheyes file to ASCII file and put it into Maya
5. Add intestine figures according to the rendered background.
Phase 9
Adding textures and more animations based on the augmented sapce.
The intestine will slither and stop until the two people pass by.
Then the intestine will get ready to climb up the telephone pole.
I’ve changed the lung to distinguish between the intestine colors.
The intestine will coil around the telephone pole and around the intestine while changing shape and size.
