#546 - Virtual Jaguar
Designed By EDMX (São Paulo - Brazil)
Inspiração: What's real today? Anything can be real as long I imagine and make my brain believe it. The idea is to build a 3d wireframe Jaguar wearing a VR Glasses that's says loading to question wich world is really real, the material one that we are living in or the metaverse?
I also would like to implement augmented reality for the art piece. When the viewer point the cell phone to the sculpture it will gain life and be animated (inside the phone)
