AR and Voice UI Chatbot Assistant Design
Deux Ex Machina is a proof-of-concept AR virtual assistant chatbot design, with advanced artificial intelligence, based on the concept of Samantha, a virtual voice UI character from the si-fi motion picture Her directed by Spike Jonze in 2013.

Ideation Sketching
In order to explore the 3D UI and environment design opportunities, I always started by sketching as many ideas on paper as possible. This design method and practice really helps me visualize and rapidly prototype abstract concepts.
3D Modeling
To be honest, I'm not a 3D artist, so it did take me a lot of time in modeling 3D characters. :)
AR Implementation
I used an AR platform service to upload my 3D models, and matched them with corresponding 2D QR codes.
Final Outcome
Here's the carousel of my proof-of-concept AR and voice UI based virtual assistant.
