First Workshop: Augmented Reality for Creatives
The first workshop in this exciting new series will be an introduction to integrating Augmented Reality (AR) into your artworks. Designed for illustrators, photographers, and other creatives, this beginner-friendly session will teach you how to animate your artworks in real time on mobile phones using simple, accessible software.
The hands-on evening will give you the skills to create your own AR overlay that anyone can access via a QR code—making your artwork come to life in a whole new way. All you need is an iPhone and a physical 2D artwork or photo, and you’ll leave the session with a working AR activation for your piece.
Participants will also receive an e-mag outlining all the steps and software used, so they can continue experimenting and applying these techniques in their future projects.
This first workshop is just the beginning, with future sessions to dive deeper into more complex AR artwork and interactive creations.
Don’t miss this opportunity to expand your artistic toolkit and take your creativity to the next level.
