One Hat, Two 3D models
A cutting-edge hat with built-in augmented reality technology and a fully customized design, including a logo on the front and side and 3D models that seamlessly integrate with the AR scene – all of which were meticulously created from scratch by the innovative mind behind it.

This project is a piece that focuses on the design and creation of logos and animations for a physical hat designed by the artist, then later produced all on his own. The project takes place both within a physical design process, as well as a virtual one. The virtual aspect of this project takes place in an Augmented Reality environment through the use of a software called Blender, where the artist has curated several 3D designs and animations - with no prior knowledge of how to use Blender - that can only be viewed through the use of AR technology. From here, the 3D models are imported into Unity, which is the app that will allow the AR scene to be viewed through any select platform that is compatible with the application.
This project not only documents the journey of starting with only an idea and turning it into a physical product through the hard work and processes of learning how to create 3D models and placing them into an AR scene but will also change how the world sees clothing from both an industry perspective as well as a consumer perspective.
