Project overview
In this project, I brought my Musicscape website to an AR space. If you’d like to learn about the original website, check out my page I wrote about it! Musicscape for AR is a mixed-reality app that visualizes your music tastes on Spotify by abstract qualities such as mood, acousticness, and energy. Each song is a single dot that’s plotted on a three-dimensional graph according to these qualities.
I learned how to use the Mixed Reality Toolkit and how to develop for the HoloLens. I experimented with the recognition and usability of different gestures. Additionally, I explored how people navigate data in a space. Please reach out if you’d like to talk about this in-depth.

Process
MRTK proved to be a valuable tool in the design process, as it allowed me to rapidly test out my ideas + get feedback. Here’s a list of some of the iterations that I shared to get rapid feedback.
