MSc course's project - Rethinking Physical Modeling Through Mixed Reality Interface

Group work with Li song, XiaoDong Su,XiaoMei Liu, Yunzhi Zhang, & technical support from Yang Yu.


Traditional digital modeling tools have focused on mouse, keyboard and stylus input. These tools may have the limitation to give a better understanding for audiences to get the main idea of the exciting designs. We seek to bring physical interaction to digital modeling, to allow users to use existing physical objects as tangible building blocks for new designs.

The combination between physical modeling, digital data and mechanic engineering will allow audience to explore new ways of integrating movement, music with visual display in content variations for the physical model, creating the biggest difference between a mixed-reality model and a traditional physical mode.

In order to achieve the target, we propose a new paradigm, Tangible User Interfaces, which argues for having some of the virtual user interface elements take on physical realities. Generic remote sense devices input (e.g., remote wireless laptop connector, 2D code cube) are primarily used to manipulate these virtual interface elements.
Structure of the model
The paternoster Motors from 2 small printers were used as the motivation source. After the camera detected the React Vision, it moves slowly between floors, 3 shorts videos about history of The Arts Tower, safe guide and love story will be displayed on the wall.
Digital Data Information about 'booking situation' of the 16th floor is projected on the model
Digital Data We mimic the paternoster movement and make a funny love story video that happens in the paternoster. It tells a story about a couple meet as stranger at the ground floor, then become lovers after traveling 18 floors to the top of the building. This video is activated as long as the paternoster moves.
Digital Data Security guideline video gives information about how to use the paternoster accurately.
