2. Technologies Enabling the Experience

| Technology | Description | Example Tools | |------------|-------------|----------------| | Markerless AR | Uses SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) to detect floor/walls without QR codes. | ARKit (iOS), ARCore (Android) | | LiDAR Scanning | Enhances depth perception for realistic occlusion (tiger walks behind furniture). | iPad Pro, iPhone 12–15 Pro | | Real-time Rendering | High-poly 3D models with fur shading, muscle simulation. | Unity + GPU shaders | | Spatial Audio | Growls and footsteps change direction with user movement. | Dolby Atmos, Resonance Audio | Screen Limitations: The experience is currently confined to

5. Challenges and Limitations

Despite the excitement, the technology faces hurdles: and it doesn't need walks

• Screen Limitations: The experience is currently confined to a small rectangular screen. The immersion breaks if the user looks past the phone.
• Rendering Glitches: Older phones struggle with "tracking." A tiger might float in mid-air or slide across the carpet rather than walking, breaking the illusion.
• Safety Awareness: Users engrossed in following a digital tiger around their house may trip over real-world furniture or pets.
