Featured web project

Transparencies is a mixed reality art installation that invites viewers to reflect on the way they perceive reality as well as their perception of our traditional means of representing it.

In this Installation, we propose that virtual and augmented reality objects will become as much part of reality as the material objects around us. We believe that this medium is no different to other representational media we use today, like video and still photography.

Processing was used to programme the Arduino Board, as well as Adobe Director, which was chosen in the interest of time.

The superimposed objects were created using 3D Studio Max and are tracked using QR Markers and the Vuzic iWear VR920 head-mounted display

Additional webcams were mounted all over the exhibition to track the visitors movement and a combination of those streams were streamed all over the building.

To make the experience complete all visitors were given a picture of themselves in an empty room to make them reflect on how the digital world has been impacting our lives. This was done using Quartz Composer by taking a picture of the empty room when a new viewer came in and by taking a second picture, keying out everything but the viewer.
