Announcement
Welcome to the grand opening of Thorn's Reality Emporium!
If you've shopped with me before, you may remember me as "Silje Made This." I took a hiatus for a couple of years, during which I acquired new skills: creating Augmented Reality effects! (For example, social media filters.) And that's where the inspiration to end the hiatus came from, when I got the idea to create products that are interactive through Augmented Reality via Instagram and Snapchat filters.
I'll be populating the shop over time with products with interesting/funny/heartwarming effects and hopefully in a couple of months, offering personalised filters to go with the products. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy my selection of interactive Christmas ornaments!

Frequently asked questions
What's Augmented Reality?
Augmented Reality (AR) is when a digital layer is added onto the real world. The best example of this is filters on social media platforms like Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok. AR allows us to make every day objects interactive in so many ways, both useful and ridiculous. It's basically the closest thing we have to magic!
AR effects can be anything from makeup to art to mini games and is a fast growing technology.
How do I access the AR effect that comes with the product?
The AR effects are hosted on social media platforms as filters/lenses. Specifically, Instagram and Snapchat. Your product should have a QR code on it somewhere - scan it and it will take you to your product's page on the Thorn's Reality Emporium website, where you will find direct links to the effects. Once the effect is loaded, point your camera at the image on the product and watch the magic happen.
If something has happened to the QR code, you can always go to the website (www.realityemporium.com) and look for your product there. If you still cant find it, send me a message on Etsy or social media with a photo or description of the item and I will find it for you.
