Bringing origami to life in San Francisco’s Japantown with Geospatial Creator in Adobe Aero

Since the early 1900s, Japantown has stood as the heart and soul of San Francisco's Japanese American community. Meet Linda, a remarkable origami artist, teacher, and the proud owner of Paper Tree, a cherished family legacy spanning four generations. Through her store, she passionately carries forward her family's tradition, with her grandfather even pioneering one of the first origami books in English. Their mission goes far beyond mere instruction or supplies; it's an emotional journey, driven by an ardent desire to forge connections and unveil the rich tapestry of Japanese culture to Americans.

Find out how you can immerse yourself in the magical world of origami at San Francisco's Japantown by scanning a QR code and seeing 3D origami sculptures come to life on your device! Using Geospatial Creator in Adobe Aero, Rock Paper Reality built an immersive, location-based experience for the Paper Tree origami store in San Francisco, California.

Learn how Paper Tree is leaning into the world's latest augmented reality technology with an interactive approach to bring awareness, community, and a new perspective to the business and artistic culture. Each AR sculpture is accompanied by a list of materials that can be purchased at Paper Tree to create the origami for real. Hear from locals who have tried the experience and a local nonprofit association sharing the impact of augmented reality so far in the community.
