Letter from an unknown woman
Prompt: Retell a story through your own artistic expression.
This AR project was created as part of a story retelling assignment, where the objective was to reinterpret and present a narrative through an interactive medium. My creative intention was to breathe new life into A Letter from an Unknown Woman, specifically the stage adaptation by Meng Jinghui, by transforming it into an immersive AR experience. The project aimed to capture the tension and emotional depth of the original play while offering an interactive layer for the viewer, allowing them to explore the narrative through clicks that triggered lighting changes and animation effects.
Material choices played a significant role in reflecting the themes of the play. The Blender modeling was crucial for reimagining the physical spaces and characters, while Unity enabled the interactivity that let the user engage with the story in a dynamic way. The lighting and animation effects were carefully selected to mirror the emotional shifts in the narrative, enhancing the atmosphere and mood of each scene.
