This week, I developed my characters a bit more. My project is based in an AR world where there are QR codes a viewer can look at through their mobile device. Each QR code represents a character in the technology or digital world (e.g. screen, wi-fi, battery). When a viewer hovers their mobile device camera over the QR code, text will appear. The text will represent commentary from each of the characters. The commentary will be on either the digital world, technology, or their everyday life as a piece of technology. My project personifies each character and the text represents something the character is saying. Each QR code will hopefully have a picture of the character on it. This project pokes at how people are constantly in touch with their devices now and as a result, their devices have become such a significant part of their lives by personifying parts of the device(s).
