AR ZOETROPES

A series of 5 Augmented Reality filters where 2D and 3D zoetropes can be viewed in a live action environment.

In the 1800s, before film, devices like the zoetrope created the illusion of motion through fast-displayed images. I reimagined this concept using a next generation medium like Augmented Reality.
