In collaboration with the sculptor Sophie Kahn, we created a larger than life site specific digital installation for the David Geffen Hall at the Lincoln Center.

The Experience
This project actually consisted of three Snapchat lenses, one for the left side of the lobby, one for the right, and a third that can be used anywhere for people who could not make it to the exhibition in person (this third lens was published to both Snapchat and the web as a web AR lens!).
Lobby goers would approach a starting point vinyl on the floor, and scan signage to access the lenses on each side. The experience orients itself using computer vision, so one it’s gained its bearings the user can see the larger than life busts emerge into the space, and walk down the isle to view each one.
