Hi Everyone, I’m Claire and I’m from China. As an AR developer and HCI researcher, for me, art plays an important role in enhancing the experience. For example, the visual and sound can bring immersive feelings, and the graphic visualizations can make plenty of complicated data more intuitive to people.

My experience with art mainly includes three forms, UX design, XR games, and visualization.

This is a VR game for google cardboard. In this game, the player can walk around in the small park, get on to the sky wheel to overlook the whole park, and take a ride on the roller coaster.

This is a VR game. In this game, the player act as a journalist with a special camera. With the camera, the player can get into the picture of the fake news, walking around in the scene where the event happened and finding out the truth. The game was designed to use hand gestures to play instead of the controller. A Leap Motion controller is utilized to track the player’s hands.

This is an AR protein structure visualization application. With the application, students can have a free view of the protein structure from different angles and in different colors and styles. By changing the filter of the protein data, students can also have a detailed view of the specific chains or atoms of the structure.

For my practice intention, I’m planning to create a platform combining AR with live coding performance art. In traditional live coding, when the performers are creating visual arts by programming, the audiences are sitting still and watching the performance on the screen. In this project, I’m planning to develop a new form of live coding performance art. The visual arts will be rendered based on the real-world markers, which can be freely moved and combined by the audiences to create different arts they like.
