Comparable to a loop station for live music, the AR loop machine allows interaction with virtual content. This means that users can enter into direct dialog with pre-produced data.
The AR loopmachine is designed to interact with objects, not to operate in spaces. The systems run best when the data is reduced to the essentials - the more compact the starting point, the more variable the play possibilities.
Since 2016, the first commercial transparent glasses have been available to add virtual elements to three-dimensional reality. One of the most powerful models owes its name to this "magic leap" made possible by AR technology: "Magic Leap". Despite their enormous possibilities, these glasses have so far found few applications in the artistic field. With the help of Loopmachine software, it is now possible to relate three-dimensional virtual content to the real environment and have it enter into a dialogue.
It is obvious that this technology unleashes undreamed-of creative possibilities - even if the desire for autonomous holograms that appear freely in space is not feasible for the foreseeable future. Although the spatial effect is merely simulated, the media dissemination of this optical illusion often causes quite a stir. The fading in of three-dimensional illusions in a real room is currently only possible with the help of technically appropriately equipped glasses. We work with data suits from ROKOKO. The data suits are used to record movements, which are then exported and processed in Blender, for example. The resulting objects become visible in space via the AR glasses. For this purpose, there will be an introduction to the hardware and software of the data suits.
During the workshop, AR glasses of the brand "Magic Leap" will be available for each participant.
