Description

Augmented Reality has evolved beyond standalone app development. With the rise of WebAR, spatial experiences now run directly inside mobile web browsers, removing technical friction and making immersive media universally accessible. This lecture offers a conceptual guide to browser-based AR, breaking down how spatial experiences are structured using the Hololink platform. We will explore the technical frameworks behind Hololink’s six primary scene types and examine how each shapes user interaction.

The session covers how Image Tracking anchors content to physical prints, how 360° Camera scenes construct immersive panoramic environments, and how Simple and Advanced Surface Tracking utilize spatial mapping and depth sensing to place digital objects onto real-world tables, floors, and walls. Additionally, we will analyze how Static scenes provide non-tracked UI layers for onboarding and how Junction scenes enable non-linear, multi-target journeys.

Attendees will walk away with a comprehensive understanding of WebAR mechanics, scene architecture, and spatial storytelling principles to inform future immersive projects.

About the Facilitator

Louisiana artist Francis X. Pavy (b. 1954) creates "narrative abstraction" inspired by Southern folklore and music. A UL Lafayette alum, his vibrant works across painting, sculpture, and VR capture the rhythm of zydeco and blues. Pavy’s storytelling honors Cajun heritage while pushing the boundaries of contemporary Southern expression.

Acadiana Center for the Arts

Our mission is fostering art and culture in Acadiana.

Founded in 1975, Acadiana Center for the Arts (“AcA”) is a community-supported nonprofit organization that fosters art and culture in Acadiana. Since its founding, AcA has developed as a major force, shaping the future of public education and community development in South Louisiana.

AcA supports the creation of new works of art, exhibits, festivals, performances, and public art across an eight-parish region that includes Acadia, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary, and Vermilion Parishes.  

AcA aims to bring equitable access to the arts and supports fair compensation of artists. On average, AcA serves over 300,000 people annually and provides fair compensation to 2,700 artists.  

In 2013, the AcA merged with the Performing Arts Society of Acadiana (“PASA”), whose mission was to educate, inspire, entertain, and culturally enrich the people of south Louisiana by providing local access to a diverse range of the performing arts. This merger supported the vision of both organizations and provided much-needed support to PASA’s programs. Founded in 1989, PASA served as a leading voice in the performing arts in South Louisiana for close to three decades.
