Replicas of the time-traveling TARDIS from Doctor Who are a dime-a-dozen thanks to the snowballing popularity of the show, but the laws of physics generally prohibit one that's actually "bigger on the inside," as per the series' canon.

Using Blender, Kumparak created a 3D render of the TARDIS' interior as it was from 2005-2010 — throughout the ninth and tenth Doctors — and then built an app using the Unity game engine and Qualcomm's Vuforia API.
