Conclusions
Augmented Reality Painting and Augmented Reality Sculpture are newly emerging
forms of art that may encompass a variety of particular types of artworks. Some of
them can be highly technological and interactive and to this extent bear resemblance
to computer games. At the same time, some of them can intentionally not rely on
interactive multimedia technologies and be closer to traditional forms of paintings
and sculptural works. In this case, conventional paintings and art prints can easily
be extended, enhanced or embellished with hidden AR objects that are able to
convey a deeper meaning of the artwork. This type of augmented reality painting
possesses all necessary features to become popular and saleable art in a similar way
as its traditional predecessors. Augmented reality sculpture has a more modest sale
potential, but in many cases can be commissioned to be “erected” in public places
instead of expensive physical sculptures.
