I recently attended Adobe Max 2021 and wanted to know more about Adobe Aero. I was looking at ways to creating AR content.

I came across a workshop on creating illustrations in AR by Michael Fugoso His method consisted of creating vector images on multiple planes. Thus creating an illusion of depth, similar to a paper pop-up book.

I decided to go for a different approach by creating pixel art for AR. The subject matter was to take a video game box art image and give it a retro 16-bit pixel art look.

I used the cover of Metroid: Dread for Nintendo Switch. The idea was for the user to scan a physical copy or picture of the box art, and trigger the pixel art to load on top.
