The Design of Art:
Creating Augmented Reality Art
For my senior capstone in Design, I created art using technological and design principles— following the innovation through design thinking methodology. My final product was an augmented reality art exhibition piece that combined my love for art and technology. i created my final showcase using digital processing and by hand artistic mediums — photography, digital painting, digital drawing, graphical renderings of photographs using code I wrote in C, and oil painting.

Final Exhibition Trailer
I used Augmented Reality software and image recognition to attach my digital renderings and videos of myself creating art to the original images. The audience was able to use a iphone/iPad to watch the art come to life when they pointed the camera at the chosen images.
My Process
I selected 4 images from my photography archive to highlight in my final piece. I then followed the design thinking timeline to test and explore the creative process. I ultimately recreated every photograph using oil painting and then digital drew and painted the scenes on iPad while recording my screen. Lastly, I created an explanation video to guide my audience through the work itself.
