AR @ Tiktok

I make fun, interactive AR effects to bring emerging technology into users’ content creation and daily life.

World AR - Lantern

- this project focused on introducing location based AR to Tiktok users. I worked as the lead interactive engineer to design, prototype and release the experience from 0 to 1.

- For the CNY campaign in South East Asia, users will get to write down their wishes on a paper lantern, fly the lantern, and also pull down random lanterns from the sky to see what other nearby people has wished for.

- They will also see name of local Point of Interests (usually landmarks, shops, restaurants, etc) in the sky.

World AR Phase 2 - Giants’ World

- This project was an experiment to further explore location based AR as well as introducing narrative worlds to Tikotk users.

- As lead interactive engineer, I and the team designed a fictional Giant’s world, and Tiktok’s first ever cross-effect persistent inventory system, to allow users to collect virtual artifacts.

- The interaction is unique in that we used WFC algorithm to help users generate a narrative image with just a few pieces of the puzzle.

The effect was featured in App store’s Tiktok page:
