Ballon Garden, May 2025, Augmented Reality

​

"Balloon Garden" is an immersive augmented-reality (AR) experience built for Apple Vision Pro. It uses balloons—an inorganic medium—to simulate the birth, growth, and demise of life. Users perform a fist gesture to “plant” a seed, open their hand downward to “drop” it, open upward to “bloom” a balloon-flower with an inflation animation, and fist forward to “harvest,” triggering a pop and disappearance. The balloon’s expansion from nothing symbolizes life drawing nourishment from its surroundings and growing stronger; its final explosion reflects the fleeting and transient nature of existence.
