Project background
Pinterest inspires creativity, but 3D designers still face friction during early-stage ideation. This concept explores an MR-first redesign that leverages Pinterest’s AI capabilities to accelerate inspiration gathering and 3D modelling workflows.
This experimental project reflects my ongoing exploration of MR, VR, and AIGC, with plans to evolve it into a collaborative, cross-platform VR experience.

I was an architecture student and spent significant time and materials in the early design phase creating 3D models to gain inspiration and define spatial relationships. In 3D innovation projects, the ability to quickly produce and compare multiple models is essential. However, most existing innovation-sharing platforms focus on images and videos, which limits access to rapid 3D spatial inspiration and real-world alignment of ideas.
As a digital product and 3D designer, this project focuses on the question:
How can we enhance the initial inspiration phase for 3D creative professionals on existing innovation platforms?
Through interviews and observations with 15 3D artists, the following pain points emerged as the most common.
Based on feedback on the concept, I iterated and synthesized the first-round prototypes into 4 main concepts. Building these concepts allowed me to begin to evaluate them critically and understand the pros and cons of each idea.
Consolidation
Based on user feedback and reviews of the concepts, I decided to move forward with the feature “walk into the image“, “Edit & Remix Object“, “Talk to the Artist“ and “Time machine“.These functionalities are built upon promising AI generation technology and mixed reality devices.
