Augmented Reality
&  App UI/UX

Enlarging the scope of what is possible to showcase and the ability to update content, extends the lifespan and increases the sustainability of printed media. A book used as a gateway, rather than a box.

Image recognition assets
Embeded and humanistic

Trigger content from the book such as panoramic images in a spacial aware environment, interviews from photographs, or a specially designed riddle game based on Mediterranean Mythology.
Content inherent to the book’s indentity provides an enhanced engagement, a social and humanistic link between editors, scientific contributors and the user.

Code triggered assets
External and adaptable

Triggering of external functionalities such as the WEFE Nexus explanatory videos, world map locations, video interviews and further information on a given subject – such as the “Heads and Hearts”, “Lets Hear More” or “Video Clip” triggers – , links to PDFs regarding table of contents and citations.

Content is present not only in ubiquitous platforms such as Youtube or Google Maps but also the European Commission’s Klowledge Hub.

WEFE NEXUS Animations

“The most dangerous worldview

is the worldview of those

who have not viewed the world.”

and Knowledge for all

Three animations were created to explain the intricacies of the Water, Energy, Food, Ecosystem NEXUS.
The animations are located in key chapters of the book and highlight sensitive areas of understanding. A communication that transcends education, language, race or gender.
