Description
Wanting to make photography more interactive I have combined augmented reality (AR) to bring this work to life using video. AR has opened a whole new world for me and this project, Street Side Zen, gives people the ability to take a moment and view our world through my lens. I create the trigger image and the embedded video then import it to a rendering software.
Once it is complete the image with the trigger is printed and the viewer downloads the Zappar app to zap (scan) and view. They have the ability to move in with their electronic device for a closer look. Should the video “unstick” the viewer just has to back up a little to “re-stick” the image. Many will read the instructions and at first dismiss downloading another app, but then curiosity gets the better of them. When they make the first scan and it comes to life, the amazement and thrill becomes well worth the small effort.
