I began as an art-loving student who once dreamed of becoming an illustrator, but studying design opened new doors. At Monash, I discovered how creativity can connect people and solve real-world problems.
My final-year project explores a hybrid wayfinding system combining physical patterned floor lines with AR guidance to assist foreign visitors in gallery spaces. Through colour, spatial cues, and interactive navigation, it helps people move with both visual clarity and emotional connection.
To me, design is about empathy, clarity, and movement — a tool that helps people find their own way.
LineAR_ Physical Model
This project addresses a common challenge: many visitors, especially non-English speakers, often feel lost in large exhibition spaces due to unclear signage and language barriers. The aim of this project is to create a navigation experience that feels intuitive, inclusive, and visually engaging by combining physical patterned floor lines with Web-based AR guidance, allowing visitors to navigate confidently regardless of language or familiarity with the space.

The prototype represents a miniature exhibition environment designed to demonstrate how physical and digital navigation can merge into one cohesive system. Each patterned line serves as a visual path that interacts with AR overlays, supporting intuitive movement and orientation. These patterns are flexible and can be adapted to different exhibition layouts or zones, allowing curators to design distinctive yet consistent navigation experiences.

The patterned fabric lines function as both a visual and tactile guide within the space. Their bold colors and repetitive motifs enhance visibility and spatial rhythm, while the AR layer overlays digital cues such as arrows, animations, and multilingual text. The line designs are not restricted to specific routes—they can be reinterpreted and applied across various exhibitions or thematic zones, maintaining both visual coherence and adaptability.

The combination of patterned fabric with a matte protective layer ensures both durability and clarity for AR interaction. The color and texture choices enhance legibility under gallery lighting and create a calm yet distinctive aesthetic. The modular design allows the patterned system to be easily installed or modified for different exhibition layouts, ensuring the LineAR concept remains adaptable, inclusive, and universally applicable.

This AR guidance demo video illustrates how LineAR operates within an exhibition environment. By scanning a QR code, visitors can access WebAR guidance that aligns with the physical patterned lines on the floor, providing visual, auditory, and multilingual navigation support.
