The private city through the hot images

Published: 13 June 2007 Publication History

Abstract

Hot Images is an artistic mixed reality application that deals with the relation between human beings and city environments, thus proposing a novel cartography and navigation tool for the city. Within the virtual recreated environment of the Hot Images, the inert city is closed to the human field, transforming the cold aspect of the city into the hotness of the close friends and relatives. The user is carrying a laptop where a 3D virtual model of the city is presented within a blue color. Some images of past events related to the user are hidden in the city, and s/he has to find them. As the user gets closer to the images locations, the environment changes to red color. Once the user arrives to a location, s/he can catch some images that will appear mapped on some of the buildings' facades, thus changing the aspect of the city. The location of the user is achieved with a combination of a GPS and an inertial sensor. The interface is done with the Max/MSP Jitter software.
