The new structures and virtual objects are generated and rendered digitally. Then implemented into live video of the room by a newly developed software. The software calculates constantly the perspectives and the shadows of the virtual elements in relation to the visitor’s movements. It also enables interaction with the virtual objects.

The visitor carries a handheld monitor and can watch, walk into or around the new structures in a real-time experience.

[syn]aesthetics_09 is the 3rd installation in a series by Høgset that explores augmented rooms with reference to a synthetic experience with graphics, sound and movement.
