EXAMPLE : augmented reality in flash, augmented reality in c++, 3d (modeling, texturing animation), exhibition/kiosk
A work of art entitled “Revision” that I created has been on display in an exhibit called Materials and Meanings since June 2009 and will remain so until early January 2010. The prototypes were created using flartoolkit for flash, while the final installation piece was created using ARtoolkit in openframeworks (c++). The majority of the models, texturing and animation were created by me as well, with additional work done by Brett Bullion, who was generous enough to help.
My primary goals were to create a rock solid installation that a) applied some theories from art history b) showed disparities in cultural product and c) was fun and age appropriate.
I achieved this by using augmented reality to overlay 3d models and animations that further defined the graphic symbols on each plastic marker.
During the creation of this work, I worked closely with the other artists involved and helped organize and maintain schedules and communication. My home and garage became a sort of hub for meetings and general merriment that go with these events.
Working with the DMA and the other artists of this project has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life thus far.
