Wedding Anniversary Gift

Motivation

Personalized cards have become a popular way to celebrate special occasions, and for my sister's one-year wedding anniversary, I wanted to create something truly unique. Drawing on my background in AR/VR/XR technologies, I used Blender to model scenes from her wedding day, Photoshop to isolate key figures from their backgrounds, and Adobe Aero to bring everything together in an immersive experience.

Lessons Learned


My exploration into augmented reality has sparked a deep interest in how digital elements interact with real-world environments. While experimenting with scene lighting and object behavior, I encountered challenges that highlighted the importance of environmental responsiveness, such as textures appearing too dark or water effects not adapting to ambient light. These moments of trial and error, initially tackled in Adobe Aero, have only fueled my desire to better understand AR frameworks and lighting systems. I'm eager to continue learning how to create immersive, adaptive AR experiences that feel seamlessly integrated with their surroundings.
