“Enchanted Tropics” Curiocity

The Enchanted Tropics was created with the concept of being mesmerized by the beauty of the glowing flora and playful creatures. Visitors were taken on a journey through an Augmented Reality (AR) installation inspired by Brisbane’s own flora and fauna. 

The installation consists of a series of illustrated physical cut outs that feature a colorful arrangement of local plants, trees and flowers. The illustrations were created by Sutu and I worked closely with him to bring these large scale cut outs to life. Think Fantasia by the Brisbane River, but instead of Mickey mouse, we have a cheeky gecko orchestrating the fun! 

Brightly glowing butterflies, dragonflies and hummingbirds will flutter amongst the trees, while stunned unblinking possums watch from their hidey holes, and hanging bats wait patiently before erupting into flight!  The enchanted forest sets the stage for a talented cast of Queensland’s finest wildlife!

The activation consisted of 3 physical sculptural installations. The  experience was activated by a custom QR code at the location which took the user directly to the  EyeJack Mobile App allowing the activation of the AR artwork quickly and easily.
