Membrana Catartica
Membrana Catartica by OSC (ITA, 2021) Augmented Reality (AR)
A screen frames the user and traces his body, returning the image as in a mirror. Thanks to the infrared 3D camera and the workstation, Augmented Reality adds 3D and multimedia content to the person and the scene, which simulate the coexistence in the environment. The user can interact in real time with the contents and animations.
InPossible
InPossible by OSC (ITA, 2021) Mixed Reality (MR)
Thanks to its proprietary platform, OSC Innovation develops advanced web content in VR and AR in order to integrate special interactive modules within websites. This solution allows you to explore 3D content, interacting with all the elements and transposing them into the Augmented Reality scene. Once the user activates his camera, the 3D object is directly visible in the real environment that surrounds it.
Tamiko Thiel
Digital artist Tamiko Thiel, whose works are present in prestigious museum collections such as MoMA NY and the Whitney Museum NY, contributed to the VRE 21 program with two of her latest AR creations created together with artist and partner Peter Graf.
EVOLUTION OF FISH
EVOLUTION OF FISH by Tamiko Thiel and Peter Graf (USA, 2021)
It is a large augmented reality projection that transforms the surrounding environment into an underwater coral reef, full of schools of fish. Visitors can use iPads to guide fish into space, but the more they intervene in the virtual ecosystem, the more fish turn into plastic trash.

AY CORONA!
AY CORONA! by Peter Graf (USA, 2021)
Work created during the first lockdown to address the fear and feeling of helplessness caused by the Coronavirus in the world. The virus of interactive work is not as invisible and silent as the real one and can be fought by focusing one's attention.
