Augmented Reality Book Cover - I Am Love

I was genuinely surprised and thrilled to see the AR-enabled cover I created for Allowah Lani's book "I Am Love" gaining traction online. This innovative cover, when scanned with a smartphone camera, unfolds into a 3D portal, inviting viewers into a visually stunning, psychedelic cosmos that I had the pleasure of designing.

I've been incredibly excited about the new possibilities that this technology brings to my art, and creating the book cover for "I Am Love" was just a glimpse of what I'm aiming to achieve with it. Seeing such a positive response from others is truly heartening—it confirms that people are just as captivated by these innovations as I am.

The cover I designed features a woman who embodies celestial and mystical elements. Her hair, a fusion of snakes and butterflies, light, and faces, reaches out towards a gauze-wrapped hand. This hand appears almost tangible when viewed in AR, creating a sense that it's your own hand extending towards her.

For this specific AR book cover, my goal was to create an illusion of peering into the cover itself, as if it's a window or portal into another world. To achieve this effect, I meticulously separated the artwork and text into numerous layers. These layers were then strategically placed in varying depths within a 3D space, using a computer program, to craft this immersive experience.
