What are they looking for?
THey are looking for art students who know how to create a proper interpretation. YOR wants to exhibit virtual 3D-artworks in the public space that are visible with the mobile application Layar for the iPhone and Android-based smartphones.
Specifications and features
• Virtual 3D-artwork for augmented reality exhibition on the Museumplein in Amsterdam.
• We will view the artworks through mobile augmented reality browser Layar, available for Android en iPhone.
• When needed, YOR will provide the students with certain guidance for creating 3D with free open source animation software Blender.
• It’s also possible to hand in concepts and concept drawings. These concepts and sketches will be realized in 3D by YOR, provided that the required specifications are met.
• If you decide to realize your own 3D, please take these specifications into consideration:
- maximum of 10.000 faces
- no transparancy
- use of textures due to color difference and overexposure iPhone (when compared with Android)
- please notice: the rounder the shapes, the higher the complexity and the higher the amount of faces
• We are looking for 25 to 30 art students/participants.
• Actual exhibition of 15 artworks on the Museumplein
Timeline
• Introductionary afternoon for those interested.
• A first design needs to be handed in on April 24, in order for YOR to discuss the progress (with the curators).
