Profile
Uramado AR is a creation of Julie Stephen Chheng. Conceived as a treasure hunt based on reality, it tells the story of the Tanukis, forest spirits who wake up in cities. This dreamlike journey offers participants the opportunity to awaken and animate these forest spirits via a downloadable iOS and Android application. At the end of the journey, the participants discover that they are also one of those spirits themselves and leave with their own character generated in augmented reality.
