Augmented Reality Art Works - Living Print - Oskar Illustration
Interactive art initiative to promote wellbeing and support mental health
Oskar illustration (Oi!), partnering with Visualise, have launched the sale of works by five illustrators from the Oi! collective. Designed to bring the outdoors in, with a particular interactive AR twist to bring them to life, each artwork will be sold with all proceeds going to industry charity NABS. The aim is to promote wellness and better mental health in the creative industries after a year of lockdowns.
There is a subtelty and quality to these AR experiences, they are each perfectly sympathetic to the art itself and bring the scenes to life, letting you feel like you are diving inside the prints or looking through a window in to another world. Each of the below prints is with a QR code, so click on the pictures below and have a try!
You can buy these prints for yourself from Oi! directly, check out their blog piece here.
The images can be activated by scanning the QR codes in each of their corners, which in turn launches Instagram on the correct ‘filter’. Then you simply hold your phone over the artwork to see it come to life!
‘Soon To Be’ – Paris Anthony-Walker
This piece highlights the fact that the world has had to find different ways of connecting with loved ones during the pandemic, but brings hope as we now start to come back together once again.

The artworks were provided to Visualise in their constituent parts, allowing us to isolate parts of the scenes and individually animate them, either in 3D software or in Spark AR Studio itself.
There is a whole range of things you can do with Spark AR Studio and this really is just scratching the surface, drop us a line and have a chat about your AR project.
