Shell of the New World – Augmented Reality

NEW EARTH

Imagine a world so polluted you have zero visibility at 5m. The air is toxic , so is the water and the food. Homo sapiens are evolving to the new earth, as a result there is no verbal communication between the people. They have developed a second skin which lets them see through the smog, their faces are covered with masks.  This is the atmosphere they live in, which has resulted in them being depressed. The skin becomes the communicating layer, as people are at close proximity with others  the  skin  glows. Emotions are expressed by the vibrations created through skin. The skin is evolved to be thermochormic. This is the “New Earth” resultant of the today we are living.

Advantages:

• Online shopping can be made interactive, the user can visualise the garment on themselves.
• In clothing stores when the trail rooms are occupied you can visualise the clothing on you without actually trying it.
• The same product can be visualised in different sizes, fabrics, colours without making all the samples.
• This particular augmented skin project gives the pollution level of the atmosphere surrounding you by changing the colour which creates awareness to the person.
• Also the virtual interaction can be displayed by showing how many people are liking or viewing your social media posts.

Shell of the new world is a project of IaaC, Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia developed at Master in Advanced Architecture in 2016.
