Project Overview
Tesseract is an educational poster system that uses augmented reality (AR) to transform static geometric content into dynamic spatial experiences. Designed to bridge physical and digital learning, the project visualizes complex mathematical concepts—like dimensionality and space-time—through minimalist print design activated by mobile-based AR layers.

Problem Space
Traditional educational visuals often fail to capture the dimensional or interactive nature of advanced math and science topics. This project explored how AR can:

• Extend 2D graphic content into layered, immersive educational experiences.

• Increase engagement and comprehension through spatial storytelling.

• Maintain visual clarity and conceptual elegance across both analog and digital environments.

Solution Highlights

• Poster-to-AR Translation: Designed a black-and-white vector-based poster that comes to life through AR-triggered animations, allowing key geometric forms to move, shift, and extend beyond the physical page.

• Spatial Learning Framework: Centered the experience around the concept of the tesseract (4D cube), using motion and layering to communicate abstract spatial relationships.

• Minimalist Visual System: Balanced high-concept content with clean graphic design to ensure accessibility, legibility, and visual impact.

Research & Design Process

• Studied best practices in AR for education, focusing on cognitive engagement and dimensional representation.

• Created modular vector illustrations tied to core physics and geometry principles.

• Prototyped the AR experience using smartphone apps, refining motion timing, object tracking, and user interactions through iterative testing and critique.

Outcomes & Impact

• Demonstrated the power of AR to enhance STEM learning through visual immersion and tactile curiosity.

• Delivered a finished educational artifact that is both intellectually rigorous and aesthetically refined.

• Received strong feedback for its clarity, originality, and integration of analog and digital design principles.
