3D mural ‘Where the Unicorn still plays’ by Leon Keer with Augmented Reality

— Where the Unicorn still plays —

This painting by Leon Keer depicts a whimsical yet symbolic scene: a unicorn perched on a seesaw mounted atop a long spring. A playful image, evoking the carefree spirit of childhood. Where the spring represents the gradual distance that grows between us and our inner child over time. The unicorn itself serves as a symbol of Vancouver’s unique and creative character.

Augmented Reality
Leon Keer is a specialist in creating anamorphic street art. The 3d effect caused by this technique is only visible from one viewpoint. The artwork invites spectators to grab their phone and interact with the art.

The Leon Keer app connects Augmented Reality with the anamorphic art. By scanning the painting with your smartphone or tablet, you can see how the painting will come to life.

If you are not on location you can also download an image (https://www.leonkeer.com/ar) and use that as the marker to start the 3d animation.
