Personal Project
Designing for film and VFX experiences.
Overview
The AR HUD Concept Illustration blends cinematic UI design, motion graphics, and AI-enhanced visuals to create a futuristic, high-tech interface fit for a sci-fi blockbuster.
Project Background
This AR HUD Concept Illustration is a futuristic design exploration, inspired by sci-fi film interfaces seen in high-tech productions like those from Perception or Territory Studio. Created as a fictional user interface for a sci-fi film, this project envisions an advanced augmented reality heads-up display (HUD) used in a high-stakes, near-future setting. The goal was to craft a cinematic, highly detailed, and immersive interface that feels both believable and cutting-edge within a sci-fi universe.
Challenge
The challenge was to design an AR HUD that balances storytelling, realism, and visual complexity, ensuring that it feels functional while maintaining a cinematic, high-tech aesthetic. The UI needed to convey critical mission data, facial recognition, and environmental overlays in a way that looked visually compelling on screen while remaining legible and intuitive. Additionally, the interface had to feel seamlessly integrated into the futuristic world-building of the film.
Solution
Using a combination of Figma for UI design and After Effects for motion and compositing, I created a highly stylized, cinematic AR HUD that enhances the visual storytelling of the sci-fi world. Key elements of the design include:
- A futuristic facial recognition system, with an AI-generated likeness of Tom Cruise, adding realism to the character interaction.
- Layered augmented reality overlays, providing real-time mission data and situational awareness.
- Sleek, high-contrast UI components, reminiscent of cutting-edge HUDs seen in Hollywood sci-fi films.
- Dynamic motion design and compositing, ensuring fluid, immersive transitions and a polished cinematic feel.
Results
This AR HUD Concept Illustration demonstrates how cutting-edge UI/UX design, motion graphics, and AI-generated assets can bring sci-fi worlds to life. As futuristic interfaces continue to evolve in both film and real-world applications, projects like this highlight the power of creative storytelling through digital design.
