3D Scanning to VR: Augmenting Interactions with Spatial Platforms

3D Hand Scanning – The easy road to photorealism in VR pt. 2

Exploring 3D scanning through a transition from the tangible object to its digitised form, the workshop proposes to investigate different ways to engage with an object from real to virtual environments. We experience the digitising of objects using a handheld scanner, followed by data post-processing strategies to create figurative sculptural forms that are experienced by the viewer as objects of introspection in virtual space.

When spatial platforms become a means to investigate technological advances, allowing for more intimate or immersive interactions with objects in space, the focus shift from real to virtual spaces; the workshop brings innovative artistic perspectives to interactive platforms conventionally developed for gamers.
