MEDIATING MEDIUMS
A recent graduate of the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Greg Trans thesis
prize winning concept, Mediating Mediums, provides a thought-provoking
glimpse into the future functionality and application of augmented reality.
According to Greg, digital 3D is currently confused with the digital 2D
representation of 3D material like that of Pixar animations or computer models.
As he sees it, true digital 3D has potential to converge what is real and what is
imagined, expressed here as a graphical user interface that exists not only within,
but as architectural elements that provoke user interaction.
His exploration into techniques that engage and allow for an immersive
experience for architects to design with presents an interesting proposal for the
future of our profession. The technology, in its current state is largely unexploited
and employed as a standalone object, rather than a holistic experience and
progressive tool. See his video and proposal for an enlightening take on how we
can use this technology for the advancement of architecture.
