Architectural Exploration of Space/Augmented Reality
Week four
Overview
The idea of augmentation came out of experiments conducted by
Boeing in the 70s to help mechanics with the repair of complicated
machinery. A kind of X-Ray was used and references were
projected onto the engine identifying components. The idea
was seized by military and developed further. American artist,
Myron Krueger, is considered to be one of the first generation
virtual reality and augmented reality researchers.
The technology of creating an augmented reality has been applied
to architecture. Artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer came up with
a term of Relational Architecture to talk about the technological
actualisation of buildings and public spaces with artificial memory. New
technology is being developed and projecting straight onto the
retina is on the drawing board.
