The Gates AR Experience

At The Shed, I led the design of an interactive AR iPad table experience where visitors could explore The Gates on a large-scale map of the original project location, gaining insights into the project’s 25-year journey from conception to realization. This immersive experience offered a unique perspective on the scale and ambition of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s vision.

In addition to the exhibit at The Shed, I contributed to the concept and user experience design of the AR walk through Central Park. This experience virtually recreated several hundred gates along a portion of the original installation’s pathway, allowing visitors to use their mobile devices as a portal to view the reimagined version of The Gates. The AR experience was developed collaboratively by The Christo and Jeanne-Claude Foundation, Dirt Empire, and Superbright, and was accessible via the Bloomberg Connects app.
