Entry Description

An optical alphabet set that is made for VR and AR applications. In a virtual space, rules of physics can be broken. Letters and messages can be easily placed and modified in the virtual landscape and can create interesting spatial relationships with the viewers’ position and the angle of their viewpoints.

This practice includes motion images, a 3D printed display board, a 360 VR video, and a set of AR prints that can be triggered by smart devices.

A full thesis book called "The Fifth Medium" was written based on this project.
