Cultural Quest

AR quests that run in the smartphone browser with on-device AI: object and painting recognition, pose matching and voice tasks. Used at two large events and in pilots in Seoul, Dubai and Berkeley.

Overview

Project details

Players complete missions straight through the phone camera in a PWA for iOS and Android: recognizing objects and paintings in the video stream, matching images, mimicking poses, connecting objects and completing voice-based tasks.

All computer vision runs on-device in the browser, so video never leaves the phone. Object and painting recognition uses OpenCV.js, pose matching uses MediaPipe and TensorFlow.js, and voice tasks use Deepgram speech recognition.

A no-code admin panel lets content managers configure missions, reference photos and poses, train recognition, generate voiceovers and manage geolocation on a map.
