ABOUT
The VR Chroma Project was originally designed as a "Care Prototype" that would be accessible online to offer an offsite experience of the PERCEIVE project to all interested.
As a demonstrator, the VR CHROMA Demonstrator acts as a prototype virtual reality (VR) application that brings the "Born Digital Art Scenario" of the PERCEIVE project to life. It features the Chroma Tower and the AR Portal elements of the Open Museum, along with a series of Augmented Reality (AR) artworks.
As a simulated environment, the demonstrator visualizes the spatial setup of the Chroma Tower and surrounding AR portals, highlighting their interplay of color, light transmission, and reflection under various times of day and lighting conditions.
With a VR headset, users can explore architectural structures, engage with AR artworks, and immerse themselves in a virtual representation of the Open Museum. The main scene connects to three additional levels hosting AR artworks: "Propaganda Stands and Orators" by John Craig Freeman, "The Crystal Coffin" by Lily and Honglei, and the "Space Art Gallery" by Arthur Clay.
A key feature of the work is the presentation of case study objects from Scenario 2, such as Polychrome Sculptures, within the scenes of the environment. This allows users to experience the contrast between artwork created digitally and artwork that was not.
All sculptures used in the project can be found in the Farnese Collection of the MANN Museum
