Other Matter Brazil L +4

Other Matter allows users to access Augmented Reality experiences designed by students of the University of Applied Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. As trigger objects an image/ graphic are used, abandoning the conventional QR-code aesthetics.

Does architecture always need to be physical? What ways of spatial expression, notation, extension, and new awareness can be achieved and designed through media? And what role could AR play in (re)programming space, especially in exhibition design and design methods?

The works explorable through the Other Matter App investigate the possibilities of virtual and augmented space populations through the playful use of digital technologies. Students from various departments looked at different approaches of immaterial architecture in order to develop ephemeral, audio-visual objects, structures, or installations that stand in dialogue and emulate new experiences in relation to an existing architectural context.

The app is designed to be used at physical venues, nevertheless you can go to other.matter.2vmd.at to experiment with the samples provided there.
