Sculpture That Steps Off the Postcard
I wanted to give people a way to meet my sculptures in 3D without asking them to download anything. The idea was simple. Print a postcard with a sculpture on it, add a small QR code and let a phone camera do the rest. Point the camera at the card and the sculpture rises off it in full 3D, right there in the browser.
I built it on top of my earlier Fusion Arts app, a WebAR project that already handled the hosting, camera permissions and deploy setup I needed. Rather than start from scratch I pointed Claude Code at those files as a reference and asked it to keep what worked and swap the rest. It reused the Cloudflare Pages deploy and the project structure, then replaced the flat 2D assets with a 3D GLB model tracked to the postcard image using MindAR and A-Frame.
This was my first time using Claude Code in VS Code. Working file by file and reviewing each change before it landed suited how I like to build. No frameworks, no build step, just plain files I could follow.
The result runs on any modern phone with no app install. Scan the code, hold up the postcard and the sculpture is there.
