MOTION TRACKED

The Maze and Other represent an unusual kind of AR, one that doesn’t involve, as artist and designer Tom deMajo puts it, “QR codes and things hovering in the foreground.” Biome’s approach means you don’t have a screen acting as a constant intermediary. “We thought getting people to separate themselves from their environment by looking at their phone was the wrong way to go about it.” Instead, he thinks back to being a kid with a Walkman; the experience he’s interested in is like going for a walk with an album in your headphones and letting it soundtrack your surroundings.
