Theme:
Play and force
Method:
My understanding of "force" is an external force from the outside world, like wind, gravity, and the living creature's instinct of growth. I envisioned an AR game. People could find a stone they like and establish a connection with it through the AR with it.
Through AR, people can see that the stone forms a small biosphere, and by observing the changes in the four seasons, people can realize the force of growth in nature.
Due to limited time, I can't create an AR game, so I chosed to create a video with After Effect to explain my ideas.

The Pet Rock Fad - As Crazy as It Sounds?

In the history of the United States, a stone pet has been popular. This kind of "stone pet" that can be taken care of without any effort is a great marketing idea. In my opinion, the characteristic that the stone itself cannot interact is also a kind of force.

Tamagotchi is a kind of electronic pet. People named this portable digital pet and fed it. Tamagotchi could be hungry and sick, and even die. This electronic pet shows the force of the life cycle.

Result:
I made a video into the form of an advertisement to show my imaginary results. The idea comes from: What would a stone pet look like in modern times? I think that we have a more advanced AR technology, using AR on stone pets, combining reality and virtuality, we can create a unique experience and connection.
