Emerging Tech Illustration
The goal of this project was to create a free style, vector illustration to tell a story of emerging technology. I chose to create a cartoon-style design incorporating both VR and AR; Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality.
Background info:
Virtual reality, (VR), is a computer generated simulation of 3-D images/environments that allows the user to interact with their surrounding. As it's 100% virtual, users wear a headset which displays this virtual reality.
Augmented reality, (AR), is still an interactive experience, however, AR involves enhancing the real world through the use of your mobile device. A popular example of an AR game is, “Pokémon Go”.
PROCESS:
Pictured above are 4 of the 16 thumbnails in a 4"x3" horizontal layout.
FINAL:
Pictured on the left side of final design represents Virtual Reality.
I designed a woman "in space" with a VR headset on to signify the 'alternate world' she entered, and the real world she left behind.
Pictured on the right represents Alternate Reality. This side is displaying how playing an AR game, (in this example, Pokémon Go) simply enhances the real world you’re currently living in.
