Fig. 10.5 The Hand of Moscow by Vladimir Geroimenko, 2013. An augmented reality painting at
the Hidden Realities Exhibition
other hand, can mostly be perceived by the viewer as interesting installations that
are related to computer games rather than to conventional sculptures.
The following experimental work by the author can serve as an example of this
kind of augmented reality sculpture.
The Enterprise Jigsaw was a sculptural artwork dedicated to a mission of
the University of Plymouth as the Enterprise University. The sculpture has been
exhibited in the City Jigsaw Garden in Plymouth, UK since 24 March 2011.
The augmented reality installation consists of a three-dimensional digital sculpture
'erected' nearby the main campus, in front of the university's flagship building and
right in the middle of the Jigsaw Garden (see Fig. 10.7 ).
Viewing of the artwork requires the Layar Reality Browser to be installed. The
viewer can easily perceive that the augmented reality sculpture is really placed in
the real world environment - in the middle of the Garden. To be convinced of this,
they should follow the pavement around the Garden looking at the sculpture from
all possible viewpoints.
As such, the digital sculpture The Enterprise Jigsaw is a 3D augmented reality
object, consisting of 11 jigsaw puzzle pieces that form a word that uses jigsaw-style
fonts and reads Enterprise (see Fig. 10.8 ).
