After the conversation with Jim, I really started thinking about tying the project together to have a final. An idea came up thinking about what if I were to experience the models in an augmented reality. Having a digital exhibition that people are able to access within lockdown. After the conversation with Jim, I decided that I really don't want to have a proposal but to work around a final that was accessible within the lockdown situation. Perhaps having multiple models in different stages of the process suspended for people to be able to walk around and look at, adding the element of sound playing when they are walking around. Question that came to me where why would I use augmented reality? What does it say about the work and the project?
Using the program Aero, I enlarged the model and placed it around eye level. It was definitely interesting to see the model in a different space, looking through on the phone. Because the model was floating it gave it more of that suspended animation feeling. However the model became very pixelated because of how enlarged it was and if I had left it in it's original size it would be too small to see. To build large enough models for people to see and to 3D scan them all would take more time then I had left for the project. Also scan a large enough area for show these models could be more than what people have available within their home, therefore though an interesting experiment, I decided to approach the final in a different direction.
