Interaction Design

The statues of Trädgårdsföreningen

An Augmented Reality (AR) project to empower women in public spaces. This project seeks to inspire and uplift women and girls, promote gender equality, and reimagine public spaces as areas of empowerment and education.

This is an interactive design project that uses Augmented Reality (AR) technology to transform statues in the public park Trädgårdsföreningen in Gothenburg (Sweden) into dynamic, empowering depictions of women from history and science.
