Greetings everyone I am beyond excited to share my newest project "Afrobets " a symbolic cultural language using geometric shapes mixed with heartfelt spiritual expressions

This experience uses Image Tracking AR. The technology works by recognizing a specific physical image (the "Target") and "pinning" a 3D digital sculpture and audio track to it in real-time. 1. Hardware Requirements - Stationary Screen (Computer/Laptop): To display the target artwork. - Mobile Device (iOS/Android): To act as the AR lens. 2. Step-by-Step Setup Step A: Prepare the Target (The Computer) 1. Open the target image on your computer screen: View Target Image. 2. Ensure the image is clearly visible, not obscured by glare, and fills a decent portion of the screen. Step B: Launch the Experience (The Phone) 1. Open the mobile browser (Safari on iOS or Chrome on Android) and navigate to the hosted URL of your code. 2. The EBONY landing page will appear. 3. Tap the green "Enter Experience" button. 4. Allow camera access when prompted. Step C: The Scan 1. Once the "Point camera at artwork" hint appears, aim your phone's camera at the computer screen showing the image. 2. Hold the phone steady for 1–2 seconds. 3. The 3D Sculpture will manifest over the image. 3. Points for Feedback When the group is testing, ask them to evaluate these specific elements: - Visual Fidelity: How does the 3D model look against the high-contrast stripes of the background? - Stability: Does the sculpture stay pinned to the image when you move the phone slightly, or does it "jitter"? - UI/Links: Test the Instagram and Get Prints buttons that appear at the bottom of the screen once the artwork is recognized.

Happy Saturday Everyone! Are you using your Saturday morning for creativity? What days and times are you the most creative during the course of a week?

The number one question that we receive from artists is "How to I price my artwork!". As gallery owners, we never feel comfortable putting a value on someone else's time and talent. So we have created a tool to help the working artist determine how to price their work so that you never feel like you are undervaluing your time and effort.
