Ho Jeng AR

HO JENG AR app designed for Hong Kong

HO JENG AR is a mobile application featuring an immersive experience with six iconic AR characters designed for Hong Kong - “HO JENG AR” in Cantonese also means “Awesome!”. Once the users open the app, virtual host Lenni, who has a knack for looking at things from new perspectives, will tell the HO JENG AR story and provide step-by-step instructions that guide users to unlock the characters. Users can interact with the characters in different ways - drag and drop the character to place it, and pinch and zoom to adjust its size. Moreover, Joy Points can be collected when users interact with the characters, and share a photo or video of the AR characters on social media. Joy Points are used to unlock new skins for the AR characters and offers provided by community partners.

The six characters represent the icons and vibe of Hong Kong including: DanDan who has a bouncy personality; easy-going Charlie; the sporty hiking HayHay Twins: Hayley & Hayden; cheerful and curious lion Leo; ever upbeat Lumi; and happy-go-lucky Vic. Users can play with this colorful cast of characters by placing them in your surroundings to create an augmented world of joy.
