Where: Filmmakers’ Lounge - Bow Tie Chelsea Cinemas
(260 West 23rd Street)
With: Brian Pope (writer, director, entrepreneur, philanthropist), Founder of Arck Project
Arc/k Project was founded by Brian Pope in late 2014 with the goal of creating a digital library to house art and artifacts that are in danger of destruction.
The visual targets can be different images or motifs for each context in which supplemental imagery or information is desired. As the user navigates the space with a pre-loaded tablet, each target encountered initiates the presentation of different types of information. For example, a person holding a digital tablet loaded with an AR application could point the tablet’s camera at an Augmented Reality target and examine a three-dimensional object or location with completely realistic shadows and details.
