Exhibition
Give Me More
November 12–November 25, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM
swissnex San Francisco, 730 Montgomery Street , San Francisco, California 94111
Animations float across the pages of a timeless book. Banknotes prove strangely seductive. Your head is suddenly engulfed in clouds and your clothes ooze bubbles. This is the world of Give Me More, an Augmented Reality (AR) exhibit by Switzerland’s EPFL+ECAL Lab, premiering in the U.S. at swissnex San Francisco.
The installations in Give Me More were created in collaboration with the Computer Vision Laboratory at EPFL and represent a milestone in the development of AR: a new relationship between design and technology and software that gives the user an almost magical experience with little trace of the technical thumbprints you’d expect. As a result, technology fades away to reveal the full extent of the universe created by the designers. Are you ready for more?
