Nature Ink is a mixed reality design concept that lets users absorb real-world textures and apply them to virtual creations.
Capturing Materials:
By pointing and pinching, users can capture the texture of any surface, which is animated onto their hands in a smooth, magical transition. These captured textures are stored in a dynamic hand menu, where they are instantly upscaled using generative AI for maximum detail.
This concept also drew inspiration from iconic scenes in pop culture, like the Sentinels from X-Men absorbing mutant powers and Kevin Levin from Ben 10 absorbing materials into his body. These moments of transformation inspired me to make the world around us a living palette of creativity, where users could absorb and repurpose textures with ease.
Applying captured Materials:
The material application process is an experiment to explore possibilities of using the collected textures. One hand carries the absorbed materials, while the other is used for functionalities like rotating platforms, or switching between materials. Users can customize miniature trees, low-poly worlds, or everyday obejcts, turning everyday materials into stunning digital masterpieces.
