Ideas/Proposal development

- A mash-up of artistic drawings/sketches/paintings/2d objects/installations using Augmented Reality as a blending tool and a tool to enhance and add a new layer of visual meaning to the installation

- Markers are designed & composed as its own artistic object

The design of markers
- work with folding, layering, staking, angling of markers. Compose markers artistically in both 2d and 3d.
- Do a mesh up of hand drawn sketches with photographs(may be translated to a 3d model using photosynth & mesh lab) and computer generated graphics.


Hand drawn sketches as markers

Experimenting with using hand drawn sketches as a marker.

 Scanned image of original drawing

Default HITLab model loaded onto marker. Despite the complexity of the drawing, BuildAR seem to recognise the marker relatively well.
Makers may be presented as a framed piece of artwork and employing augmented reality, the drawing may turn into a 3d model or the drawing may be animated.
The major challenge will be to blend and integrate markers into a single art piece or installation in a subtle manner and allow viewers to discover augmented elements as they scan pass the drawing.

Sketch by Zaha Hadid









Installation by Zaha Hadid



















Taking inspiration from the work of Libeskind and Hadid, I try to create drawings incorporating the curves/fluidity of hadid and sharpness + shards/shrapnels of Libeskind.

Assignment 3 proposal - Markers as Installation, sparks life to a choreographed augmented art piece.

Re-conceptualising markers and augmented elements/models as a choreographed art piece. A sequence of augmented reality pieces that portrays an architectural story. I will be using photosynth for the reconstruction of specific architectural elements/objects. Blending and abstraction of the chosen reconstructions will become the basis of this art piece which will be triggered/sparked, brought alive by the "markers installation" in reality.

Blending markers into a continuous, structured fluid piece of art work.

Assignment 1 submission

This is an object as well as a creative scene of atmosphere, emotion and experience exploring the ideas of geometric composition, relationships between solid and void, light and shade, and the creation of space.

It is a moment in time. The camera is metaphoric for the freezing and capturing of an instant in time and space, whilst the structure of the column resembles the growth of an organic element that develops into shelter over which the picture is taken. It is a play on the dichotomy between the man made and nature, where the beauty of each can be appreciated through the scope of a single camera lens.

Augmented Reality(AR) and the Print Media

AR has been used in numerous forms of print media to enhance advertiser/brand names, promote sales campaigns and product marketing.

AR employed in car sales

AR in marketing brochures for real estate

Augmented Reality in Japan

Layar - Yahoo Pipes

First experience with yahoo pipes. Tagging spots within Campus and Sydney city.
I've tried linking images and videos with different tags.

Developing Model - Experimenting with ideas

After experimenting with 3d studio max, the ability of the software to generate geometric compositions and amorphous forms with ease allowed me to develop concepts that I would not have imagined otherwise. I became more aware and interested with inserting, merging and dissecting of objects and forms.

Mesh Lab - Scientia building

Attempt at reconstruction without removing noise. Unexpected geometries and interesting spacial qualities are generated.

Santa Caterina Market by Enric Miralles

The resultant form generated instantly brings to mind the an architectural project: Santa Caterina market resembling the highly sculptural columns supporting an undulating roof geometry.
