Enhancing Street Art Expression: A Mixed Reality Approach
Disciplines
Computational Engineering
Abstract (300 words maximum)
This research project demonstrates the use of Mixed Reality as a medium to showcase art, primarily for public street art. Shown through an application prototype, the app allows people to scan image markers and superimpose digital artworks. The primary objective of this project is to provide artists with an alternative digital platform for self-expression while offering a unique way for people to experience and learn about each piece and artist through the addition of descriptions, giving those unfamiliar with the culture a chance to understand different aspects of each piece. Through exploring how artists utilize this technology, we seek to understand its impact on the way they express themselves and the way their artwork is comprehended. This research is done to contribute valuable insights into the relationship between technology and street art, shedding light on the transformative power of Mixed Reality in fostering global artistic dialogue.
