Konstruct: Augmented Reality iPhone App

Konstruct AR 3D Sculpture App

Konstruct is an investigation into generative art in an Augmented Reality environment. It is a sound reactive AR experience for the iPhone that allows the user to create a virtual sculpture by speaking, whistling or blowing into the device's microphone. A variety of 3D shapes, colour palettes and settings can be combined to build an endless collection of structures. Compositions can be saved to the device's image gallery. You will need to print the marker to use this app.

How to use Konstruct

This app allows the user to build virtual sculptures in Augmented Reality (AR). AR is the combination of computer graphics and real life in real-time.

Useful tips and information

When printing the marker, a matte finish is preferable to glossy. Reflections can make the marker unrecognisable to the software.
The black border must be surrounded by white space. Do not cut, fold or obscure the marker.
Try to keep the entire black border onscreen at all times.
Make sure your environment is not too dark or harshly lit. Ambient lighting is best.
Move around whilst making noise to create more interesting compositions.
Try not to shake the device too much. This can make the marker unrecognisable.
Konstruct will work on 3GS and 4G devices running iOS 4 or above. For best results use an iPhone 4.
