Skills: AR interaction design · shared spatial prototyping · Unity development · wellness experience design

DEMO

Prototype / process

Built and tested together.

Interaction / simplified

A life narrative in shared space.

  1. 01

    Choose a moment

    Events and relationships become elements to discuss.

  2. 02

    Place in space

    The story takes a form both participants can see.

  3. 03

    Explore together

    Person and therapist can refer to the same spatial narrative.

Situation

Give a life story a shared spatial form.

At MIT Reality Hack 2022, our team explored whether augmented reality could help a person and a therapist look at a life narrative together, beyond words or a two-dimensional diagram.

Task

Turn a sensitive idea into a working prototype.

As lead developer and designer, I shaped the interaction and built a collaborative AR proof of concept within the hackathon timeframe. The aim was to support shared reflection through a prototype.

Action

Make abstract moments visible and movable.

We represented events and relationships as objects in a shared 3D space. I developed the spatial interaction and visual approach so two participants could view and discuss the same narrative, while keeping the experience legible and sensitive to its subject matter.

Result

A prototype recognized for wellness.

LifelinesAR won the Wellness Prize at MIT Reality Hack 2022. The award recognized a working collaborative AR prototype made during the hackathon.

I work with teams on spatial prototypes that need both technical clarity and care for the person using them.
