Stickz – ProjectProposal

For my final project, I want to implement an AR drawing app, similar to that of Just a Line app created by Google (https://justaline.withgoogle.com/).  I want to use the app as a backbone for the spatial detection and AR rendering, but want to change the simple white line so that it becomes a lot more visually interesting (i.e. more lively and colorful forms instead of a generic line ). I want to bring in an organic behavior to the lines, where the lines feel alive and move around within the space they were drawn in. I’m thinking about implementing flocking or something like that to illustrate motion within the stroke (sliding your finger across the screen). Definitely hope I can get the 3D rendering to look good, as that would be the hardest part of the assignment. More of what I’m talking about is illustrated in the sketches, which hopefully gives a better sense of the visuals that I want to accomplish.
