Project Description
In a world where technology and communication are interconnected, we often find ourselves deciphering mixed signals in communication. Small hints, unclear messages, and changing situations can confuse us, making us wonder what people really mean. Technology can both help and confuse us, offering solutions while also raising questions.
"How self-aware are you of the mixed signals you may be sending?"
Scan the QR code and explore MIXED SIGNALS, where technology and communication come together in a colourful and playful show.

Features
Interactive 3D TV Screen
A commercially available 3D TV screen serves as the centerpiece of the installation, providing a physical anchor for the immersive AR experience. The emerging 3D graphics are developed to represent the evolving color patterns and shapes that emerge from the TV test card. The visual appeal of the 3D graphics complements the underlying theme of ambiguity in technology and communication.
WebAR Capabilities
Google's <model-viewer> was used to create the immersive WebAR experience. It provides tools for designing 3D graphics, handling user interactions, and tracking the environment.
Accessibility for a Wider Audience
