A new immersive AR experience brings student creativity to life
Australian artists create new immersive educational experiences powered by iPad Pro and Apple Pencil that encourage global collaboration and connection with the environment.
Inspired by his curiosity for the natural world, Deep field A new immersive art experience and app created by renowned Australian artists and creative technologists Tin Nguyen and Edward Cut of Tin & Ed using the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. Initially available at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney and the Getty Center in Los Angeles, the interactive augmented reality (AR) and sensory experience will allow students and families around the world to collaborate on shared ideas and connect in real time. Area.
Leveraging the power and portability of the iPad Pro, combined with the precision of the Apple Pencil to fuel creativity; Deep field Participants are invited to draw their own plants and animals, inspired by artworks and the environment, using colorful colors, shapes and textures. After seeing the wonderful plant sections, participants draw their sketches with Apple Pencil in the Deep Field iPad app, which are then added to a global database filled with plants drawn by participants from around the world, creating a new ecosystem of unseen worlds. Plants appear through the magic of AR. Using a LiDAR scanner on an iPad Pro, participants will watch their artwork blossom into stunning 3D plant structures on floors, walls and ceilings, creating a reimagined, immersive natural world.
The guided experience encourages the audience to think new perspectives and think about the planet in different ways, from plants that have lived for thousands of years, to new and imaginary species. Taking the experience to another level, the app’s UV mode allows students and families to see the newly created world in a different light as they experience the world as a pollinator.
Multidisciplinary artists Tin & Ed create active, playful and interactive experiences around the world that explore and push the connections between art, design and technology, as well as the physical and digital worlds. More than an immersive simulation, Deep field It uses accessible technology that enables people to bring innovation to life, while also focusing on the importance of protecting the planet.
to bring Deep field Experience Throughout life, Tin and Ed’s backgrounds in art and design and their passion for innovative technologies have enabled them to work effectively on multiple devices. The MacBook Pro, Mac Studio with the M1 Ultra, and the Studio Director, combined with the 3D platform Unity, enabled the development of complex three-dimensional worlds that were then optimized. The Deep Field application was developed using Apple’s ARKit framework, which combines the depth sensing features in the iPad Pro with the M2 chip to produce stunning 3D plant structures in AR. The state-of-the-art LiDAR Scanner in iPad Pro offers excellent depth detection capabilities for measuring light distances and uses pixel depth information of a scene to deliver faster and more realistic AR experiences.
“For us, AR is a powerful art medium for storytelling because it’s immersive and multi-sensory,” says Tin Nguyen, Tin & Ed artist. “The power of the M2 chip on iPad Pro has made it possible to create work that allows children around the world to imagine new worlds together in real time.”
“Deep field It encourages children to look, listen and think deeply about the natural world and their place in it,” says Edward Cutting, artist at T&E. We hope they come away from the experience with a sense of wonder and curiosity, and a deeper connection with nature and each other.
To enhance the multi-sensory experience, Deep field Featuring the multi-channel soundscape of forgotten and extinct species by renowned audio naturalist Martin Stewart, it offers a new appreciation for the beauty of the natural world’s noisy surroundings. Stewart, along with his foundation, The Listening Planet, has made it his life’s work to capture the sounds of the planet in hopes of preserving its future.
Deep field It is now available to students and families at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney and will be available to visitors from Saturday 8 July to Sunday 16 July at the Getty Center in Los Angeles.
“Deep field Dr Michael Brand of the Art Gallery of New South Wales said it was a new opportunity for our younger visitors to experience the intersection of art and technology. “Thanks to Tin and Ed’s vision, the experience launched at the Yribana Gallery, each participant is invited to take a closer look at nature through the lens of the world’s oldest surviving cultures, as seen in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artworks. Children are encouraged to connect with their environment by observing and responding to the stunning natural landscape seamlessly integrated into the new Art Museum campus in Sydney’s Gadigal Country.
“This is the Getty’s second collaboration with Tin & Ed, following the iOS app they created for our William Blake exhibit,” said Timothy Potts, Maria Hammer-Tuttle, and Robert Tuttle, director of the J. Paul Getty Museum. “Deep field It allows visitors to take inspiration from works of art in the Getty’s collection, including our own Central Garden, and collaborate with people on the other side of the world to create an ever-changing interactive work of art. fact. In addition to connecting traditional art with new technologies, it serves as a gentle reminder that we share this same earth with others and that we need to work as a team to care for it.
Following presence in Sydney and Los Angeles, the Deep field Experience will embark on a world tour, arriving in Europe in October, and heading to Asia in November, including a stop at the Artisan Museum in Singapore.
