Pilot project introducing 3 AR experiences to the Nouns community, with 3 ETH for development and 2 ETH to encourage community engagement within rounds.wtf. If successful, we'll seek further funding to expand AR applications, enhance web and app development, and diversify with more AR experiences, supporting NounsDAO and its community projects.
Total 5 ETH
AR use cases are often highly specific, requiring creative solutions tailored to particular events and campaigns within the Nouns community. Therefore, instead of requesting a large budget initially, we prefer a kickstart budget. Once the project proves successful, we will seek semi-retroactive funding to continue development (web and apps) and gradually expand our portfolio to include a diverse range of 12+ AR experiences.
Our goal is to create fun and innovative AR experiences that enhance the Nouns community and showcase the Nouns brand. We want everyone to have easy access and enjoy these experiences. By studying the results, we will gather feedback to improve and expand these experiences, making sure they meet the changing needs of the Nouns community
We plan to create the following experiences:
Note: this is work in progress
Users will find themselves surrounded by towering Nouns emerging from a distance. Some of these giant Nouns will approach the user, while others will animate individually, perhaps dancing or engaging in playful interactions. To convey a sense of scale and distance, we'll utilize sky segmentation ML, which will make the 3D models appear as towering giants in the distance.
Features:
This concept transforms our reality into a world of Nouns. The AR effect brings Nouns heads' traits into the physical world, adding diverse features to our surroundings.
This AR experience can recognize surfaces like the ground, tables, walls, and ceilings, and adds the appropriate head traits to them. we will updating this experience with adding more dynamic animations, enhance the materials and adding more details.
This Experience designed to put in the desktop + big screen with camera which can be put in the nounish event like: Edcon or upcoming Nouns Fest 2024.
User Journey:
Benefits of this AR Experience:
Snap AR is the chosen platform for its features and accessibilty on web, but we are also open to exploring other than social ar platforms like Google Maps (will available later this year), or Niantic's 8th wall, and Adobe Aero. To reach a wider audience, we will use Twitter and Farcaster to updaing our project. Additionally, we plan to develop dedicated apps for accessibility
AR has immense potential for spreading virality and making a lasting impression. However, to kickstart a chain reaction and amplify the spread of these experiences, we propose initiating a small contest within the rounds.wtf (Farcaster). Participants will be incentivized to share their experiences through the rounds channel or X. This rounds session will be easy to participate in, allowing everyone to join without specific skills. With this low entry barrier, we expect more participants to join and share their AR experiences.
Our plan is to continuously develop and explore cutting-edge AR experiences, and integrating Nouns into our creations. We believe AR can now serve as more than just a marketing gimmick. With rapid advancements from major tech companies, AR now can be utilized as a design tool that enhances and supports proliferating the nouns ecosystem
If this proposal is approved, we will persist in exploring AR applications using a retroactive funding model. which means we complete some projects first and then request funding from the DAO afterwards. This approach allows us to demonstrate tangible results and ensures that funds are well-allocated based on proven success and impact. As an estimate, the budget for each AR experience will range from 1 ETH to 3 ETH depending on its complexity - between 3,600 and 10,800 USD (as of 18/06/2024). Additionally, we also occasionally create simple AR experiences for the community as part of our ongoing commitment.
This is an example how we can utilize AR in various creative ways:
John Hamon and his team successfully launched a remarkable campaign, creating a dynamic collaboration between Nouns and John Hamon as an artist.
Here's how augmented reality can further enhance this project with AR:
Community members can also spread John Hamon's poster in their own environments or landmarks and share it on social media only using phone. Users can point their cameras at a wall or the ground, tap the screen and the John Hamon poster, complete with randomized Noggle colors will appear, record it, and have the video on any socials. This interactive AR feature allows for widespread and engaging promotion, with additional rounds.wtf allocation, the reach will be massive.
This full-body tracking technology can be utilized in numerous ways, from just goofing around, enriching your content, to dancing tools (example : for Nouns Breaker) and many more, user can decide that their own body will be appears or hidden in this experiences, using Machine Learning feature that allow 'erase' user.
Great thing about publishing AR is sometime we just amazed how user creatively exploring this experience with their own unique ideas. But most importantly, it definitely can be leveraged to promote the documentary of itself and nounsDAO in general.
3D Printed Fashion collection from Props 26 by Danit has captured considerable attention in the fashion, tech, and design sectors for its innovative and stylish designs.
AR try-on fashion presents an opportunity to enhance this project further. While the 3D printed material may be expensive to produce and difficult to fit, AR fashion allows users to virtually try on these designs using just a camera or a large screen. This accessibility means that anyone from around the world can now experience the 3D printed fashion, potentially sharing their interactions on social media platforms.
User Journey:
Benefits of this AR Experience:
Geolocation AR leverages the user's geographic location to deliver contextually relevant experiences. By combining geographical data with environment recognition, it can accurately track and create immersive experiences that are seamlessly integrated with the user's surroundings.
SnapAR offers ready-to-use template locations at global landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty, and also allows us to create custom locations through 3D scanning. Niantic, the creator of Pokémon Go, has extensive area data ideal for scavenger hunts. Additionally, Google plans to integrate AR experiences with Google Maps this year, with pilot projects expected to be available in Singapore and Paris.
With this type of AR experience, we can offer location-based interactions for our community. For example, we could create a "Noggles Spreading Frenzy" or "Gigantic Noggles" at the Eiffel Tower when paris blockchain week, or making more immersive experience on Mount Liu Pian, Organize a scavenger hunt using Niantic's platform data, or decorate various buildings with Nouns-themed elements, enhancing both engagement and visibility.
Numerous features and use cases for augmented reality also can be applied to:
The possibility are endless.
This proposal will serve as a kickoff for utilizing AR within the Nouns, setting the stage for a series of innovative and fun experiences. This initial effort will pave the way for future developments.
Q: Whats the goal of this project?
A: In the short term, this proposal aims to create 3+ AR experiences, allowing the community to use AR in their environments and share their experiences through two rounds.wtf sessions on Farcaster or X. This exploration has several goals:
In the long term, we aim to become a studio that supports other projects with our expertise in AR and MR (Mixed Reality). We will continue researching this evolving medium while creating state-of-the-art tools for the Nouns community to proliferate Nouns.
Q: Will you only use 3D Nouns, and will you assist us in using our own community (other project) assets?
A: While we have our own 3D artist, 3D Nouns provide a good interpretation of Nouns's pixel art from 2D to 3D voxel. It's lightweight with a small number of vertices, allowing for quick, accurate work and fast prototyping. However, as community members, we are open to using other 3D assets (Nounish friends, Nounies, etc.) and our custom creations. We support and collaborate with other projects to help proliferate Nouns and are flexible if you request similar experiences with different assets.
Q: Will you use influencers to promote this?
A: No, we will rely on community participation boosted through rounds.wtf. However, if someone wants to involve influencers, these AR experiences will always be available for that purpose.
