Bookworms

Characters for augumented reality tour

"How do we know what is true and what is not?"

The bookworms Anna, Bruno and Wolfie go on a quest to find the truth – to distinguish fact from fiction – in the Austrian National Library. ‘The Bookworms‘ is a site specific augmented reality story, that invites children to explore the magnificent baroque state hall in an entirely new way. The experience is available to children aged 6 – 12 as part of guided family tours.

Multimedia artist Kris Hofmann approached us for creating the magnificent characters in 3d and bring them to life. Our first realtime AR project.
