Figure 2: "Soul Portraits". The eye is the window to the soul and this ayinograph ("sightpainting") is a new kind of expressive portrait that also happens to embody a new kind of eye test whose results are immediately comprehensible. It is also a new easthetic and artistic form. Each participant can make an ayinograph, useful for custom-calibration of wearable computing and 3D AR Spaceglases.
AbstractWearable computers and Generation-5 Digital Eye Glass easily recognize a user's own gestures, forming the basis for shared AR (Augmediated Reality). This Studio-workshop presents the latest in wearable AR, plus an historical perspective with new insights. Participants will sculpt 3D objects using hand gestures and create Unity 3D art+game objects using computational lightpainting.Participants will also learn how to use 3D gesture-based AR to visualize and understand real-world phenomena, including being able to see sound waves, see radio waves, and see sight itself, through abakographic user-interfaces that interact with "sightfields" (time-reversed lightfields). Participants will also surveilluminescent devices that change color when watched by a camera. Long exposure photographs made with such devices generate "sightpaintings" that show what a camera can "see".
