Initial questions in relation to the brief…

• Shall we specifically link the game to an artists work directly, or shall we make it more universal by including the works of several works within the contemporary collection?

• What are different age ranges? And how will the levels differ?

• What will the rewards be for the players if they participate?

InspirationThe Cube• “A simple tool

for use in the galleries or back at school, The Cube encourages students to explore architectural space, context and perception.”

Inspiration

• Tate Modern's Multimedia Guide is a unique way for visitors to find out more about the Collections Displays. Holding a small computer as you walk through the galleries, you can see videos and still images that provide additional context for the art, take part in interactive games, listen to commentaries, and play art-related music.

What is AR?Augmented reality is considered an extension of virtual reality. AR mixes virtual characters with the natural world.

• History• 1975 Myron Krueger creates Videoplace to allow users to interact with virtual objects for the first time.

• 1989 Jaron Lanier coins the phrase Virtual Reality and creates the first commercial business around virtual worlds.

• 1992 L.B Rosenberg develops one of the first function AR systems, called Virtual Fixtures.

• 1998 Spatial Augmented Reality introduced at Univeristy of North Carolina.

• 1999 Hirokazu Kato creates ART ToolKit: a computer tracking library, allowing for the creation of augmented reality applications that overlay virtual imagery on the real world.

• 2000 Bruce H. Thomas develops ARQuake, the first outdoor mobile AR game. Using the classic computer game Quake.

• 2008 Wikitude AR travel guide launches on the G1 Android Phone.

Hardware

• The main aspects of AR are a processor, display, sensors and input devices.

• Smartphones are seen as a prospective AR platform due to the fact they have GPS an accelerometer and display and a camera.

• 3 types of displays can be used in AR:• head mounted display - optical see through or video see

through.• handheld display - all opt for video see through• spatial display - uses digital projectors to display graphics onto

physical objects allowing for several users to take part at the same time.

AR CAN BE USED IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FEILDS WITH ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES....

Current Uses of AR• Advertising • Navigation • Military and Emergency services• Art • Archietecture• Sightseeing • Time: historical reinactments• Entertainment, Education and Performance • Translation.

Potential Applications• X Ray Vision• Automotive: navigation arrows on roadways• Public Displays: window dressings, traffic signs, Christmas decorations

Idea• Game made in augmented reality

• Based on “treasure hunt”

• People will look for either keys or pieces of an artwork

Idea

• The shop offers a range of products, such as posters, postcards, souvenirs, books, art materials, stationary etc. It also offers children specific products. These could be used as the prizes for the winners, along with exhibition tickets for the older players.

Our Application

• Look through the sculptures• twist the art work or sculpture in their phones• Go really close to the art work squat to look at

it from really low angle or to stand on toes or jump to see from higher angle and at that moment press on the key

• move two art works together to see the key

• Every key has a riddle for example "sculpture is the eye" or "twist and you shall see”;

• Game also offers hints which are more direct; • First hint turn the wall person has to look at

green;• Second hint show the area of the specific

object; • To collect all the necessary keys player needs

to go through all four collection rooms;• There is a time that needs to be beaten to get

a prize.
