Tips:
Make your Graduation stand out.
Your Character:
Remember that you are the centerpiece of the Volaroid graduation experience.
When creating your virtual twin: have a neutral facial expression - this isn’t a class photo or a mug shot - it’s better.
For the best avatar, it’s important to take a clear picture with your face front and center. Even lighting is very important and make sure you don’t have any bright lights in your background. Stand in front of the window rather than have it behind you. Before taking the picture, remove your glasses, headphones, and hat. Do smile slightly on camera, but avoid opening your mouth. :)
Give it a shot, and if you’re not happy with it, you can always re-make your avatar. You can experiment to find the best settings for your device.
Dark But Not Too Dark
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
The theme for this experience is magical realism and when you turn down the lights - but not all the way, you really experience the magic.
Don’t forget to move around and explore the virtual environment. Get close to your avatar to capture the graduation moment. Move back to catch the fireworks.
Try it More than Once
and Get Creative
The power of Augmented Reality means you can experience your table-top graduation with anyone and anywhere.
Play around with your background - include some friends from zoom into your graduation. Try it in your backyard, living room, or even in a car. It works just about anywhere. (We recommend avoiding reflective surfaces like glass or water)
The app is built on Unreal engine which is quite powerful but requires lots of resources on your phone. We recommend shutting down all other apps and a device restart before trying the app for best performance.
Share it
We never doing anything alone because the power of experiences is in sharing it with your peeps.
