AR

For our AR aspect, we wanted to utilize two parts of the house, the garden, and the kitchen and dining room, we made a pizza able to move from flat surfaces with a touch and plants growing in the upstairs garden

Process to Final:

We started with a hand cut cardboard prototype, with some loose paper floor plans. Next we learned how to use rhino and created our second prototype using the laser cutter. this time we created a few furnishings, but mostly stuck to the actual structure. We finally fixed some bugs on our rhino document and reprinted the model as well as made the AR and decorative features.

Project Inspiration

We created a two story commercial and residential building located in New York City. The first floor is a old fashioned pizza restaurant with a dining area and kitchen. On the second floor, there is a bedroom and an open space for children to either use the moveable box or use the open floor. Lastly, on the top floor there is a roof deck with a garden and seating area.

Next Steps

Next we will fix the errors in our rhino plan, and then reprint our design for the final dollhouse. We need to make final accessories such as food, furniture, and appliances, we will work on keeping the project neat and utilizing clean lines. We want our final project to end as an open space with lots of room to play with fun intricate details!
