This Capstone project endeavors to create a “tech-meets-art” experience
by integrating hand-drawn animation with passthrough virtual reality
technology to tell an immersive story.
A physical set will be built as the base for the experience, allowing for
paintings, photographs, and other objects to serve as anchors in the
space. Users with XR devices reveal an unseen layer of interactive reality
that seamlessly integrate into the experience.

● Unsatisfactory display of a clear mastery of interactive media design or
development.
● Project seems to be an opportunity to showcase traditional animation skills, with
a little bit of interactive media.
● Reads as a set of skills in pursuit of a project, instead of a worthwhile project.
● Much of the language and opportunity framing read as uncommitted and buzzy
over substantive and clear.
● It’s not clear that it will demonstrate mastery of the fine art of interactive media
(i.e. the MFA).
● It feels like you are most interested in the technology, but aren’t sure what story
you want to tell or what experience you are going to offer.
● For this reason this feels a little bit unresolved and needs more decisions resolved
before going into capstone.

Constructive Criticism
● Even in the context of fine art, the art is rarely successfully framed as “I can draw
and I needed to do VR “ but instead perhaps something like –
○ “VR seems bereft of the charm of hand-hewn art and I aimed to investigate
that through producing an animated short that blends the strengths and
exposes the weaknesses of each of these two mediums.”
● Start with the story and WHY it is best told through the medium offered.
● Deliver the video sooner. The video was really late to tell the specifies of the story
or the cultural value (aka some kind of story about Cuban migration).
● Use the device as a central conceit

Precedents
● Dragon’s Lair, Cuphead
● The experience was popular 10-15 years ago, via QR
codes and early augmented reality, particularly in
advertising.
● Labatt’s Beer and Fanta soda offered opportunities to
make the world come alive by pointing a flip-phone
camera at their labels as markers or at QR codes. It
was very common in advertising and persists today

● You should review these examples to learn some dos
and don’ts.
