This project is inspired by the captivating Anansi stories from West African folklore. In collaboration with mud cloth artist Kathye Arrington, we aimed to bring these tales into the modern digital age, creating a unique educational resource. Our Anansi playlist, foundational to our inspiration, is available here.
Our project was built using Adobe Aero and Geospatial Creator, focusing on creating culturally authentic and technologically innovative Anansi-inspired 3D assets. The process involved research, design, and iterative testing to ensure a seamless AR experience.
Transform into a bee and explore the pollen world with the BeeN’Pollen face filter! This amazing filter, created with Meta Spark AR, lets you experience the life of a bee with a 3D face model that tracks your facial expressions and movements. You can open your mouth to talk, smile, or buzz, and see how the bee’s mouth reacts. You can also raise your eyebrows to make the bee’s eyes bigger and more expressive. As you enjoy the filter, you will be surrounded by pollen particles that float in the wind and create a beautiful and immersive atmosphere. To try the filter, use the following links to open it on your device and have fun with the BeeN’Pollen face filter!
