"Ocean of Memories" is an augmented reality experience designed to inspire ocean conservation by creating a deep emotional connection to marine environments. Developed in collaboration with Chromic Duo and Texas A&M's School of Performance, Visualization, and Fine Arts, the project guides users through interactive stations at Aggie Park using GPS and image tracking, immersing them in digital scenes of marine life, news articles, and ambient soundscapes. By blending storytelling with real-time events, the experience highlights the beauty of the ocean while addressing critical environmental issues like pollution and oil spills, encouraging users to pledge their commitment to protecting our oceans. The application combines art, technology, and environmental activism to evoke empathy and responsibility toward the ocean's future, aligning with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14: Life Below Water.
