Aura: An AR Spatial Modifying Experience for Fun Gathering

PROJECT INSPIRATION

Sometimes in our initial encounters with others, we sense vibes that might be off-putting or negative, potentially stemming from undisclosed personal factors. These first impressions with people often influence our willingness to engage with them in the future. However, in some instances, people pleasantly surprise us, revealing themselves to actually be positive influences on our lives, despite the first impressions we had meeting them.

These experiences I've had, as well as my peers have had made me wonder:


How can we detect the positive people we should continue hanging out with, and which combinations of these people might help us reach our goals — or help us take action towards manifesting better opportunities in life?

We will never know, unless we actually continue to hang out with those positive people, and with practice, understand one another on a deeper level. If we can learn to spend time around the right people, then maybe overtime, we can be shaped to be living more positive, fruitful, and emotionally aware lives.

Centered around these ideas, I developed an AR experience concept in the context of a futuristic AR glass with: 

1) An intelligent conversational assistant interface
2) Capability to detect human auras and emotions
3) Technology that is integrated into typical eyewear to be accessible.

What is An Actual "Aura"?

“Auras are fields of energy that surround living beings, including animals and plants. These energy fields are made up of subtle vibrations that emit different colors and shades, depending on the person's state of being. Auras can also be influenced by external factors, such as the environment, people around us, and other energetic forces." (Aura Health)

Main Goals of This Aura AR Experience

01

Make the spaces people spend time in more magical, fun, and customizable to a group's imagination, so they actually want to gather more frequently. 

02

Track the group’s auras or color vibrations, and help nudge people to communicate better with each other. People can learn to mediate conflicts, offer support, and be informed when others' auras have a positive or negative impact on their state of being.
