WIKA: A Projected Augmented Reality Workbench for Interactive Kinetic Art

Abstract

Figure 1. WIKA supports the whole creation process of the interactive kinetic art (IKA) (a) A projected AR system with a mobile device effciently makes an interactive tabletop. (b) Physical components are applied from the initial phase of prototyping. (c) The projected information connected with physical components enables the programming and simulation on the workspace. (d) Tangible objects support a trial-and-error process during the making phase. (e) The user can build the IKPF with generated guideline.

A UWB-Driven Self-Actuated Projector Platform for Interactive Augmented Reality Applications

“…However, the projection-based interactive board usually suffers from tracking sensor occlusion and the projection beam's blockage problems. AR also appears to help in the early stages of the designing process, as presented in [21], where augmenting animated graphics contributes to building up a prototype level of interactive kinetic art. This design affords a limited interaction area due to the use of a stationary and heavy projection unit and the restricted field of view of the tracking camera.…”

“…The user is fully involved in the projection process to customize the projected screen's size and location; on the other hand, several systems remove this facility from the user by restricting the interaction area to a specific location and size due to the pre-setup requirements [10,15]. Some conventional projection-based interactive AR systems cannot serve for applications that demand extended indoor interactive spaces, flexible assigning for the interactive areas, and larger user's interactive envelope [20][21][22]. Nevertheless, thanks to our system's mobility and customization capability, normal indoor spaces can support diverse interactive tasks.…”
