Iteration and Assets
Idea of using force pressure sensor for an interactive projection, the object kept on the sensor, if picked will trigger projection and play the projection of bleached corals.
Processing 3 and Arduino software are used for coding the visuals and interactive technicalities
I did some understanding of sensors and technical details of how an Arduino works and tried some variations by changing the size of the image, measuring the distance, and playing the video through coding by ultrasonic sensor and pressure sensor.

Augmented Reality Explorations
Failed and Initial prototyping
Augmented Reality prototyping through a VR box as a scuba diving mask was a failed test as the simulation of the Underwater Ecosystem is an interactive touch efficient micro-interaction installation to increase the engagement of users in an immersive AR world. The VR concept could not work as it eliminates the idea of micro-interaction and touch/trigger points in the AR world.
Projection Mapping Explorations
Ceramic Corals Process
Ceramic Corals
It took me more than four days to complete the whole composition this ceramic coral tile is 40x40 cm. Every kind of coral was sculpted through various tools to develop a texture that can resemble the original corals of the sea.
I haven’t colored the corals as this representation already establishes the bleached corals in their skeleton form only the projection mapping on this structure would give the magnificence of colors and visual identity to these corals acting like a coral polyp and algae latched on this hard skeleton structure representing the natural phenomenon.
