In a collaborative effort with RVLV, we embarked on the exciting journey of redesigning the interactive mobile application for Chinese Arts Now. This innovative app harnesses cutting-edge Augmented Reality technology to offer an immersive tour of London’s historically significant Chinatown. Our mission was to seamlessly fuse the existing immersive augmented reality landscape with a fresh, user-friendly interface. Additionally, we diligently assessed and restructured the overall user experience and journey to enhance the app’s functionality.
