Art and augmented reality. Optical illusions in hybrid space
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Optical illusions and augmented reality (AR) used in the artistic sphere are concepts which have been widely studied as separate, but very little has addressed the phenomenon of optical illusions in avant-garde artistic pieces created by means of AR. Within this field of study, another factor to be considered is the variations on a perceptual level of the tricks, ambiguities and misunderstandings produced by optical illusions, if their effects are compared between AR settings and those environments which are completely real. With the intention of gaining a better understanding of this issue, on the one hand the works of various artists are studied which are generated by AR and where optical illusions are produced. And on the other hand, an experiment is carried out in which a series of participants evaluate three dynamic artistic pieces, in which digital elements of different forms, colours and dimensions are superimposed onto backgrounds whose characteristics generate processes of discordance and tension between outline and background.
