Visualising a medieval
wall in augmented reality, of which only a few fragments left in the dense urban
fabric of the city. A hybrid urban space is formed by resuscitating and superposing in
3D fragments of medieval Paris over the contemporary space.

Augustus is a project held by Comet Lab, in collaboration with Ausser Laboratory
& Éditions la Commune. I was involved in the project after January 2023 as an intern
designer until April 2023.
Augustus is a research project for the development of a mobile app that offers an augmented
experience along the life-size virtual reconstruction of the Wall of Phillippe Augustus in
Paris. The app lets the users visualise in augmented reality the medieval wall, of which only
a few fragments left in the dense urban fabric of the city. A hybrid urban space is formed by
resuscitating and superposing in 3D fragments of medieval Paris over the contemporary
space.
I was involved in the project in the later stages of scanning and superposing. I was
responsible for deploying on-site digital anchors utilizing applications ARkit and Reality
Composer. I facilitated the integration of digital models within the physical
environment.
