MOVING MARVELS
AR ART & STORYTELLING APP
Using a combination of Illustrative works, Technial Animation and Game Engine Pipelines, Moving Marvels is an Augmented Reality Art & Storytelling collection created by Australian Artist, Marc-O-Matic. The collection provides a benchmark and creative take on Augmented Reality, fusing traditional art mediums and animation to demonstrate the applications AR has for creative expression and storytelling when combined with existing physical print material.
Illustrative Works
Each AR Artwork is a combination of Ink Illustrated Art, Ink wash, 3D Modeling and Animation.
Augmented Reality
Through audiences mobile phones or tablets, viewers are able to bring the artworks to life right in front of them. As the artworks take full 3D form, audiences are invited to move around the art to explore hidden details.
IMMERSIVE TECH FOR ART
& STORYTELLING
Exploring the realms of Augmented Reality technology I understand that its applications don't just belong to Tech Industries or Video Games. The technology alone offers up so much more, allowing Artists and Storytellers to communicate their ideas to their audience on a more intimate and engaging level.
