This post is about the AR (in)curiosity in my recent Absurd Museum: Dr Kali Gehry’s Cabinet of (in)Curiosities and Ecstatic Nonsense
The orientation and trigger for this AR overlay experience running on a dangling iPad is a small wooden box with a Dr Seuss character and a roughly painted black cross. Holding the iPad while walking around the gallery space, the viewer can see a spatially registered and oriented digital overlay that seems to follow the users movements. Multiple digital worlds can be thus seemingly conjured inside the gallery, triggering both wonder and amusement.
