I recreated the macOS magnifying dock animation for AR/VR hand-tracking-enabled devices.

Check 0:54 for a closeup angle!

(Prototyped using Unity, running on Oculus Quest 2)

A dynamic 3D HUD carousel menu concept for easy access to important info, mainly useful for AR wearables devices.
Check 0:45 for a different angle!

You know it's a good day when Mark Zuckerberg himself is posting the project I worked on at @Facebook!
The new avatar system is rolling out on Quest 2 starting today.

@V_Kurbatov Nice work! Did you also try more near field interaction? (the further the UI is away the less precise for hand tracking)
@crookookoo did a really compelling iteration:

I’ve open sourced some hand related code that I've been using for prototyping, along with several UI designs: https://t.co/SGM9HvYPxO

[Dominik Hofacker @dohodesign]

Quick prototype that demonstrates one option for a UX design pattern about navigating a map using hand tracking.

My take on AR navigation and wayfinding, featuring a floating mini map and directions placed in the real world. This will be a true game changer for AR glasses.

Smart homes in a world where consumer AR glasses are ubiquitous: expect a lot of customization.
- Virtual widgets
- Crypto art, other NFTs, or gallery items
- Interactive 3D

Virtual smart home widget displaying the current weather for the consumer AR glasses era.

[Dominik Hofacker @dohodesign]

The future of smart homes is going to be virtual. While physical devices are here to stay, you will be able to place virtual content (e.g widgets) on your walls that will augment your smart home. AR glasses will be scanning your home and store that data in an ARWorldMap.
