Transforming Book Covers into Immersive Experiences (Zero-Friction WebAR) I developed this project to demonstrate how Augmented Reality can revolutionize editorial marketing without the traditional barriers of app downloads. By combining a high-performance 3D pipeline with web standards, I turned a static cover into an interactive portal that brings characters directly to the reader's table.
The Technical "Behind the Scenes": To ensure an instant loading experience on any mobile browser (iOS/Android), I focused on a lightweight, optimized workflow:
Blender Modeling: Created custom low-poly assets to minimize computational load.
Texture Baking: Pre-rendered lights and shadows into the textures for a premium look without sacrificing speed.
GLB Optimization: Applied Draco compression to keep the final asset under 289 KB.
Web Implementation: Integrated via Model-Viewer for a seamless transition from the 3D landing page to real-world AR.
Why this matters for Authors & Brands: In a crowded digital market, interactivity captures attention. Offering a "wow" moment directly on your landing page increases engagement and organic sharing.
🛠 Tech Stack: Blender, Model-Viewer, Netlify. 📍 Available for hire: Let’s bring your story to life with interactive 3D!
