Developing an Exhibition Experience

broots Augmented Spaces, ITP

For Augmented Spaces this week I designed and developed an exhibit using ARKit on iOS. My initial concept was to use image anchors to make an imagined space visible that extends the world of a photograph.

While doing image and 3D model research I came across an amazing resource of public domain artifacts through the Smithsonian Museum. Browsing their “3D Voyager” inspired me to focus on artifacts from The Museum of African American History and Culture. My idea was to pair portraits of public figures with photos and 3D scans of objects significant to their lives. For my initial demo I selected Madam C.J. Walker, Charlie Parker, and Seba Johnson.

I started with some sample code from class to ensure that the portraits I had selected tracked well with ARKit on my iPhone.

From there I built out the experience. Screen captures below.

Since receiving the PCBs and successfully soldering the board together I have been trying to rewrite code for the I2C port expander. This has been immensely difficult! The Inkplate Arduino Library makes considerable use of an “Mcp” class, which is written to work with the MCP23017 GPIO expander IC. These chips are quite difficult to […]

“Handling” Playtest Week

Last week we attended “Playtest Thursday” on the second floor of 370 Jay St with our games. I came away from the experience with some very specific feedback. Seeing a number of people play the game showed me things I didn’t anticipate. Some folks approached the cabinet and immediately treated it as a touch screen. […]

The boards arrived! Amazingly within an hour of one another. Based on the experience I think that JLCPCB is a better value. With shipping OSHPark was $55.50 for 3 boards. JLCPCB was $26.36 for 10 boards. Aside from a higher cost OSHPark also left sharp bits of tabs around the edges of the boards which […]
