10 Apr Cinema of Spectacle

Augmented reality project in collaboration with Tong Wu.

Our idea is to reverse the common perception in AR projects of who is watching and who is being watched. When the viewer opens the app on their phone, thinking they can peek into a miniature world of spectacle, they find a roomful of digital beings clapping and laughing at them. The watching becomes the watched, the viewer IRL becomes the spectacle in the AR world.
