The Invisible: Bacteria Everywhere

Published:09 November 2016Publication History

ABSTRACT

This interactive artwork uses augmented reality on mobile devices to portray the concept of bacteria is everywhere around us. The installation set up will show an aesthetic interactive design of common bacteria types found in every day's items. Interactive android application is built using Augmented Reality (AR) technology with a 3D display of the bacteria found each time the mobile devices scans an identified item that is commonly found around us. Users can manipulate the bacteria's behavior by simulating a different condition for the bacteria and visualize in 3D format of the aesthetic behavior of the bacteria. This project is suitable for digital advertising as well as an educational exhibition booth to attract the interest of the youngsters who are technology savvy. The overall installation utilizes the 3D concept and interactive manipulation of the controlling parameters to simulate bacteria's behavior and visualize in an aesthetic manner with 3D visual arts.
