An augmented reality storytelling experience designed to help visitors explore historical landmarks in a more immersive and engaging way.

The design opportunity: How might we help visitors go beyond simply seeing historical landmarks to experiencing the stories of their past?

ExUnx is an augmented reality tourism experience designed to bring historical landmarks to life, allowing visitors to travel back in time, visualize how places once looked and interact with stories from the past.

Visitors heard fascinating stories about historical events but struggled to imagine how these places once looked.

Information boards and guided tours largely relied on reading and listening, with limited opportunities for interactive engagement.

Visitors could admire the monuments, but connecting what they saw with the history behind them wasn't always easy.

Reimagining historical tourism through time travel

What I'm up to these days

- Building tools and experiences with AI and code, while creating my own agents to make everyday tasks easier.
- Finding my way into writing on substack, sharing thoughts, little observations and stories along the way.
- Experimenting with shutter speeds, apertures and light using my new mirrorless camera.
- Currently reading How to Talk to Stakeholders and going down rabbit holes whenever something catches my interest.
- Travelling as much as I can, discovering new places, collecting experiences and coming back with fresh ideas and perspectives.

The Defect History Timeline helps project managers track every change, understand who made it and follow a defect's journey from identification to resolution. I explored several approaches, refining the design through iterations and feedback to balance clarity, completeness and ease of use.
