The Robotic Dance

摘要

This chapter presents an experience in which augmented reality (AR) was used to simulate the flight of drones assembling bricks to construct a wave-like wall. The performance of the robotic building process is visualized by using the simulation of the construction with an AR optical see-through device. In addition to observing the technical function of drones while constructing the wall, the study aims to explore the aesthetics of AR in simulating a building process, and to analyse the consequences of this for architecture design. The study discusses the potential of artificial realities, namely AR, to transport the user to a new world and the possibilities these systems offer for communication and interaction between humans and devices.
