GenAI Methods for Augmented Reality Art
Curious about how generative AI can transform your art into immersive augmented reality?
Join us for a virtual, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to create AI-generated artwork and bring it into AR using Unity and the MeshMap SDK. This session will guide you through the creative and technical steps, from generating objects with AI to placing them in real-world augmented experiences you can explore through a headset.
Whether you’re an artist, developer, or simply curious about the future of immersive art, this workshop will show you how to merge generative AI with spatial computing. No prior experience required.
