3. AR National Park Statue

This AR concept communicates place-based storytelling for the National Park Service by overlaying a Smokey Bear statue and live park facts onto physical markers. The design goal is instant, family-friendly comprehension: scan, see Smokey appear at correct scale, and receive context cards such as park information, fire safety tips, acreage, and current conditions. I used clear affordances, large tap targets, and unobtrusive animations so information never obscures the character model. Content modules are built to swap per park, enabling a portable template for events, visitor centers, or outdoor signage. The experience showcases how AR can extend education beyond plaques into playful discovery.
