AR Mural Experience
Anthony Micallef • Augmented Reality • December 7, 2022
Creating an augmented reality (AR) experience using Spark AR can be
a fun and rewarding way to bring digital content to life and interact with physical objects in
the real world. In this article, I will describe how I used Spark AR to create an AR
experience that allows users to interact with a mural using their mobile device.
To begin, I selected a section of the mural that I wanted to focus
on. I used a digital version of the mural in Spark AR.
Next, I used Spark AR to add interactive elements to the digital mural. I created a simple
script that would cause the peaches in the mural to fall down when the user taps on them. I
also added visual and audio effects to enhance the experience. For example, I added a leaf
particle effect to make it feel peaceful, and I included a clip of the mural's creator
describing the section of the mural I chose to work with. Users can load up the link in
Instagram or Facebook to access the experience.

Overall, creating an AR experience using Spark AR was a fun and educational experience. It
allowed me to bring a static mural to life and create a unique and engaging way for users to
interact with it. I'm excited to continue exploring the possibilities of AR and to see what
other creative experiences I can create using Spark AR.
