Introduction

As part of a large-scale metaverse initiative, the objective was to digitally recreate culturally significant Qatari artifacts for immersive augmented reality viewing. The platform enables users to select heritage objects and generate them instantly in AR for detailed inspection.

The project involved developing hyper-realistic 3D replicas that preserved material authenticity, surface details, aging marks, and craftsmanship nuances, while optimizing assets for stable, real-time AR performance across mobile devices.

Project Highlights

The vision was to bridge physical heritage with immersive digital access, allowing global audiences to explore museum artifacts up close in AR with museum-level accuracy.

Key Highlights

  • Hyper-realistic 3D artifact recreation
  • PBR-based material accuracy (wood, metal, fabric, ceramic, stone)
  • Micro-detail surface replication, including wear, patina and texture aging
  • AR-ready optimization for smooth mobile rendering
  • Scalable metaverse asset integration
  • Interactive “View in AR” user flow
