Augmented Reality Design Internship — Membit

Be part of the future of design and communication — and become an augmented reality expert. Membit is a no-code AR platform for smartphones and tablets that lets you place images, video, audio, and 3D models in specific real-world locations for others to discover — no markers, no QR codes, no pre-scanning. Think of it as Pokémon Go, but for whatever you can imagine.

You won’t just learn the tools — you’ll ship real work. Over the semester you’ll learn to think like a 3D experience designer: how place, movement, and discovery create meaning. You’ll master the full pipeline for sourcing, preparing, and deploying 3D content, use AI as a creative collaborator (and learn what it’s actually good for), and build experiences as part of a team constructing an interconnected story world. Your work will be seen by real audiences in public spaces — and you’ll watch real first-time visitors react to what you made.

No 3D experience required. Curiosity, creativity, and a desire to learn how to tell stories in AR are essential. We are working on a number of projects that you may or may not contribute to in this internship:

• Holocaust Memorial of Northern New Jersey: How can we use space to educate the public about the holocaust and the survivors who later made NJ their home. How can we make sure that “never again” is true by touching people’s hearts and minds in a lasting way?

• Harlem Walk of Honor: How can we tell the story of the amazing individuals who made a positive impact on the neighborhood of Harlem?

• Black Brooklyn: How can we use AR to tell the story of the civil rights movement in Brooklyn ?

• The Wanderment: An entertainment in AR. Think of Meow Wolf, but all in AR. A bored office worker used magic to open a portal into another dimension and then followed her curiosity right in. Can you find where she wandered ? We are creating a next-generation entertainment experience, and you could be part of it.
