Second Life Augmented Reality in Physical Space

Today I visited Julian Stadon’s SLARiPS installation at the John Curtin Art Gallery at Curtin University. It is part of their current exhibitions until 1 August 2008. The idea? Put on a headset with a webcam attached, look through a pair of goggles, watch an avatar jump out of Second Life and hold it on a paddle while you move it down onto your desk.

Julian kindly let me film the installation, which explains it so much better than words could:

    I can just imagine inviting all my sl friends to come and dance around my desk. But what if anyone were to invite me to their desk? Would I get back in one piece? How would I feel as a Lilliputian in a land of giants? As you said, there is a lot of “what if” going on here.

    Amazing, really. I kept thinking about how this would work in a classroom to either teach History or Literature where multiple avatars act out scenes from a story or novel or historical event the students were reading (all moved and designed by the students of course)…one day… Well done, Julian.
