Assignment 2


I used a model of an Apple Store by finder9 in Google's 3d Warehouse. Apple's stores have a  minimalist design aesthetic that embodies the simplicity and user-centric design principles upon which the Apple mac, iPod and iPhone have been built.

I made a cardboard model to approximate the shape and size of the Sketchup model. I also removed many of the items in the existing model to simplify the design. I then used the Apple iPod silhouette ads and logo, converted to black and white to create markers for different sides of the building. By rotating the box with the markers the viewer can get an augmented reality experience of the interior of this model of the Apple building. I left the front facade of the building intact.
