AR Cube Puzzle

New games emerge with new technologies – in this installation a classic game is combined with new technologies to generate an analogue/digital playground that would engage children in a cross-media play, exploring how the merging of physical objects with computer technology can create a new interface for children education and entertainment. Cube puzzle is an interactive installation where children assemble a puzzle, which through computer vision and augmented reality triggers 3D animations of iconic scenes from the history of space explorations.

The puzzle represents a part of LVS’s larger interest in connecting the analog and the digital, and creating novel experiences where interactions in the real world (real-world interactions) have their virtual consequences. The installation was commissioned by Museum of Science and Technology, Belgrade and Cinekid – New Media Lab, Amsterdam, Holland (October 2012)
It was also a part of New Media festival – Jury Selection, Tokyo, Japan (February 2014)
