ABSTRACT
Hudson Valley Muddy Waters makes visible the microscopic life that is key to the health of our forests and streams. The work demonstrates how Augmented Reality and creative imaging can expand the role of the artist in facilitating deeper public connections with the material of science and the macro/microscopic environment. The artist reverses the usual AR relationship of "real" to "aesthetically mediated" by presenting a painterly digital image as point of departure onto which "reality" is layered, rather than the other way around. Using the app Aurasma, the viewer is prompted to experience the thrill of discovering microscopic life in water via short videos of an actual stream and video micro-captures from the same site.

Designing mobile augmented reality art applications: addressing the views of the galleries and the artists
AcademicMindTrek '14: Proceedings of the 18th International Academic MindTrek Conference: Media Business, Management, Content & ServicesThe utilization of mobile augmented reality to display gallery artworks or museum content in novel ways is a well-established concept in the augmented reality research community. However, the focus of these systems is generally technologically driven or ...
Water Dome - An Augmented Environment
IV '00: Proceedings of the International Conference on Information VisualisationThe purpose of this research is to demonstrate the influence that a water dome has on a person. The following approach was used for this study: (1) A water display was used as a projection screen;(2) The illusion of being under water was created; and(3) ...
Modelling plankton dynamics in brackish waters
MCBC'07: Proceedings of the 8th Conference on 8th WSEAS Int. Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Biology and Chemistry - Volume 8In this study, a four-compartment non-linear mathematical model is proposed to understand plankton dynamics in brackish water bodies. Local stability criteria are derived which are also used to estimate the range of values of model parameters. Numerical ...
