Many ideas and projects including augmented reality.

My project idea

The project will be a projected installation which will work through augmented reality. Augmented reality is a technology which allows computer generated images or videos to be seen on the real world but from a technological view. For example, the PokemonGo uses augmented reality as you can see creatures through the mobile devices in the real world. The augmented reality installation will be like a digital artwork. It will contain inspirational images and/or quotes which will get the audience thinking about crime prevention. The idea is for the completed digital installation to be projected onto the wall in places such as museums or other public places and for people to get involved with it due to the augmented reality. The audience would get involved as there would be more information hidden within the digital installation and the only way to find out the hidden information is through technological devices using an augmented reality application.

IKEA Mobile app

This mobile app uses augmented reality which I am also inspired by and am interested in to use for my project. Out of the three above ideas, crime issue is something that I would like to make my project about.

Inspirations

https://www.teamlab.art/w/ephemeral-life/ 

This is a link to one project which has inspired me. Its called 'Flutter of Butterflies Beyond Borders, Ephemeral Life'. "In the interactive work Flutter of Butterflies Beyond Borders, Ephemeral Life, butterflies are born from where people stand in the exhibition and flutter about the space. As the work progresses, the butterflies fly seamlessly into the nearby installation artworks, eliminating the boundaries between the works."

Starting Ideas

Problems which I could use in order to start thinking about ideas for my project:

1. Parking at Hertfordshire (system which could make it easier for students to find parking at the university without issues and in order to prevent parking charges)

2. Crime (A system/ installation which could inspire people to talk through issues and be against violence in order to create a peaceful environment for everyone to live in)

3. Bullying (an installation which would inspire and motivate those who are being bullied and motivate them to be proud of themselves which could also boost up their confidence levels.)

Objectives

My objectives are to create a project concept which will be within the broad remit of Digital Media. I will be looking at different platforms which I could use and mainly looking at different project ideas in order to find some kind of inspiration to help me create my own idea.
