About

Project Details

Our team was challenged to create a historical simulation of gameplay from the first University of Georgia football game. Using our extensive research on the history of the University of Georgia and its football program, we were able to design and build an augmented reality application that immerses users into the past. Each of these items were created with newly designed logos, fonts, and colors to create a cohesive and recognizable Glory Days: Before the Hedges brand.
