The Brief
AKQA and Google partnered to promote Google’s augmented reality platform Tango, soon to be introduced in Lenovo smartphones. My team had 3 weeks to design an app for one of AKQA’s many clients utilising this technology. Since Tango is particularly good at remembering interior spaces, we saw a great oppourtunity with IKEA.
