Video description: People on the street scan a QR code on a poster to open the Interplay app on their phone. On the app they see a 3D version of the illustration on the poster, and can move and edit the different elements that compose the design to make their own poster. Overlaid text reads: "A collaborative augmented reality experience featuring Adana Tillman’s Akron-inspired art. Edit the composition, add to it, and make it your own. Share using #InterPlayAkron"
Akron Art Museum
Interplay, created with the Akron Art Museum, turns homes into art galleries and viewers into creators. Using web-based AR, Adana Tillman's 2D artwork becomes a 3D interactive digital sculpture. Users launch Interplay by pointing their camera at a QR code, with no downloads or special instructions needed.
