‘Drums of a Dying Nation’
Anyone with half an eye on the political goings on in the US will know what this means. It emerged without intention from some experiments with sound and film construction and said its piece. The main driver for it had been some issues with copyright relating to the use of a music track via Epidemic Sound that I am still hoping I can use with an AR overlay to a painting that will be in a forthcoming book. I had the composer’s permission to use it but needed to check with the hosting platform. Their questions seem to assume that … Continue reading ‘Drums of a Dying Nation’
Circles
Each of these is a greenscreen circle through which I can project videos and change them without changing the frame. The videos are all based on my own paintings. Audio is mine, made in Magix Music Maker. The images above … Continue reading Circles

Spring video repurposed for Valentine’s Day

House #2 in the locality
The sky here is via MotionLeap and the animation applied in the same app. The central image is my own painting, also animated, and positioned using greenscreen in PowerDirector. This piece shows the extraction and disintegration of genetic material; “ACTG; … Continue reading House #2 in the locality
The Khushbu – best signal in the village!
Again, this is my painting with AR layers added. The primary image is projected through a greenscreen mask which, since this is a local business, retains their advertising, in addition to street furniture which anchors the AR in the real world. As always, AR via individual devices can be a little unpredictable. One day, with two of us focused on the wall, my phone activated the AR and the other person’s didn’t. Another day with someone else, theirs did the magic and mine remained uncharacteristically mute. Tech, eh? (c) SCH 2025 Continue reading The Khushbu – best signal in the village!

Assignment 2 with AR via QR – blue butterflies anyone?
This very primitive demonstration shows how augmentation can be applied to paintings wherever they are and accessed using QR scanning. A second way of making the AR visible is to upload the target image, in this case the painting, and the video file – this one made in Thyng – to the Thyng website. Once live, scanning the image with the Thyng app will bring up the AR embedded video. QR scanners are ubiquitous for smart devices. Thyng may be a new um, thing but is also a smart device app. This is an experiment; I’m paddling in the shallows … Continue reading Assignment 2 with AR via QR – blue butterflies anyone?
Augmented reality and art
Several years ago there was an app called Blippr which let you both make and read AR images embedded by tagged code into a flat surface. Before it went under (or was bought and drowned maybe by a competitor), I made a couple for work, and also scanned the front of a display box of flea treatment at the vet’s to reveal a website (imaginative!), to the amazement of the receptionist. Layar was another and both have gone silent. Now there are some new ones on the scene and I’ve been trying them out. This is Thyng which shows promise but … Continue reading Augmented reality and art
