HG ARt

Helena Grinshpun ARt is an innovative augmented reality app that brings Helena’s physical paintings to life.
Just point your camera at a real artwork — and see it transform into a living story with video, animation, and interactive elements right on your device.

Main Features

1. Physical Artwork Recognition
• Advanced ARKit (iOS) image tracking accurately detects original paintings by Helena Grinshpun.
• Supports recognition of multiple targets at once.
• High precision: overlays are always perfectly aligned to the real canvas — no stretching or drifting.

2. Seamless AR Video & Animations
• Each artwork is paired with unique video content or animation.
• Video is precisely mapped to the physical borders and proportions of each painting.
• Videos support looping, play/pause, and restart at any time.

3. Intuitive AR Target Scanner
• Animated aiming frame (3:4 ratio) appears when the app starts, guiding users to position the camera for best detection.
• The frame disappears once a painting is recognized, leaving only the AR overlay.

4. User-Friendly Controls
• On-screen controls: Mute/Unmute.
• Buttons are visually clear and adapt to any iPhone screen size.

5. Instant Launch via App Clip
• Experience the AR app instantly by scanning a QR code or tapping an NFC tag — no need to install the full app.
• Smooth preloader: a short intro video plays while the app is preparing resources.

6. Dynamic Content Delivery
• All targets and video files are loaded from a server, making it easy to update and expand the collection without app updates.
