Overview

Bajkovita Šuma is an AR experience where users explore a physical environment and discover virtual characters by scanning physical QR markers.

Characters include fantasy and Slavic-inspired figures such as dragons, Perun and Baba Roga.

The application also contains mini-games that contribute to unlocking characters.

My Role

I independently developed the AR portion of the application.

A colleague assisted with the mini-games for a short period.

Key Contributions

Implemented the AR experience.

Implemented QR recognition and AR content anchoring.

Integrated character presentation.

Implemented Addressables.

Structured the application so another developer could work on mini-games without interfering with the AR development.

Investigated and fixed a QR recognition issue.

Challenges & Solutions

Challenge

QR recognition did not behave correctly in one scenario.

Solution

Investigated the recognition behavior and fixed the issue so the AR content could be reliably anchored to the QR marker.

Challenge

AR development and mini-game development needed to happen without creating unnecessary conflicts.

Solution

Structured the relevant systems so the mini-game work could proceed independently.

Results / Impact

  • Completed and deployed the AR application for iPad.
  • Enabled QR-triggered AR experiences.
  • Supported parallel development between AR and mini-game work.
