AR SpaceBlocks
A mobile augmented-reality puzzle that turns block stacking into a 3D spatial challenge played in the world around you.
Project overview
AR SpaceBlocks starts from the familiar logic of fitting blocks into a grid, then adds a third dimension. Players work with 3D models that must ultimately match a two-dimensional target, turning every shape into a problem of geometry and perspective.
Approach
Pieces can be rotated and positioned until their form aligns with the available space. Built with Unity and C#, the interaction tests spatial awareness, careful observation and strategic thinking rather than relying on a fixed camera angle.
Experience
Augmented reality places the board in the player’s own environment. Moving around it changes the viewpoint and makes physical movement a useful part of solving each puzzle.
