Challenge

Make a stable, shippable AR experience when marker-based AR was the only reliable option. Marry audio synthesis with AR input and keep it approachable for first-time users.

Approach

Used Unity + Vuforia with a US dollar bill as the image target. Added virtual keys, buttons, and effects mapped to audio synthesis. Shipped to iOS and handled full pipeline: prototyping, build, store submission, and updates.

Outcome

Reached 25,000+ iOS downloads and validated a full product lifecycle from concept to release, informing later leadership work in interactive platform development.
