Kinect Projection Mapping

Spatial augmented reality allows users to create a projected virtual environment on irregular surfaces. This demands an accurate Camera-Projector calibration process in order to produce precise 3D information to match the real object. This paper presents a framework to process data achieved from a calibration of a Kinect-Projector system in visualization applications, allowing the user to create an augmented reality environment without having extensive process of the Camera-Projector calibration, while maintaining a precise calibration to the projection on irregular surfaces. Additionally, different calibration techniques were evaluated in order to demonstrate the better approaches.

In this paper, we present a projection-based installation designed for gallery-based exhibition. The installation system based on the Spatial Augmented Reality or known as "SAR," in which digital images were projected onto real objects or materials using projectors such as projection mapping techniques. This project studied the use of digital technology for gallery exhibition installation works to enrich and create an engaging audience's art experience through an immersive space created through SAR application. The study involved 79 youth who responded about their experience after viewing the projection-based installation work through a questionnaire survey. The findings show that the use of digital technology to the installation creates dreamlike scenes, imitating nature ambiance complemented with visuals and sound and well provides immersive experience among the visitors through the mixing of virtual images with real objects. The significance of this research on SAR application in exhibition artworks is essential to understand how it affects the audience's experience. The results are necessary as contributions for the development of innovative art mediums intended for gallery-based exhibitions and visitors' engagement, mainly targeted among the youth as the modern audience.

Building Models

Three-dimensional (3D) visualization technology, such as augmented reality (AR), has served as the display for building information modeling (BIM)-based architectural design collaboration to provide more effective design observation and communication for stakeholders. That said, AR has several technical limitations in terms of personal device issues, user experience, and visualization quality. A new form of AR called spatial augmented reality (SAR) has been introduced to address these issues, which uses a digital projector to present graphics on physical objects for augmenting real-world objects. Therefore, SAR has great benefits and potentials to combine with BIM for design collaboration. This paper introduces a BIM-based SAR operational framework, where 3D building models generated from BIM software are imported to projection mapping tools to display building surface textures on physical white building models. A case study using Revit and 3ds Max as the BIM software, and MadMapper as the projection mapping tool, was conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed framework and to evaluate the projection performance of SAR. The case study showed that the texture of BIM models could be projected on the objects clearly and realistically. Additionally, the proposed SAR method potentially offers intuitive observation of building models and comfortable wear-free experience for collaborative design, and the qualitative analysis by changing the parameters was conducted to test the different projection conditions. Since it is expected that the use of SAR can be promoted by overcoming the discussed technical limitations and possible solution application, this study aims to traceability provide the whole process of BIM-based SAR for architectural design collaboration.

2D And 3D

Today´s projection art on public surfaces developed from the mutual approximation of painting, architecture, and lighting during centuries. The terms “Spatial Augmented Reality” (SAR) and “projection mapping” describe mostly temporary large screen projections on urban surfaces. The façade architecture becomes the screen for the content, mostly projected 2D and 3D animations. In essence, many of these artworks generate illusionistic clips deriving from the existing façade structure, allowing reality and fiction to merge audio visually. Artists, architects, curators, and institutions are increasingly aware of their responsibility related to this form of the mediatization of architecture, as shown, for example, by the Brazilian artist group Visualfarm. Their members approach their work as a counterpoint to the commercialization of public space in its appropriation by industry, propaganda, and advertising. But on the other hand, they also make a living from commercial assignments. Artists and architects often see themselves as pioneers and experimental researchers for possible developments in the coming digitized cities. By presenting various examples by selected artists like Corrie Francis Parks, Pablo Valbuena and Robert Seidel, the role of animation in connection with an alternative approach to the concepts of augmented realities within this process of social and urban evolution will be discussed. These artists try to integrate digital content into the cityscape in a harmonious sense.
