作品論述
〈躍介海精靈〉是一件跨越虛擬與現實的互動科技藝術作品,主要讓觀者使用手機能自然地在真實空間中撈取並收集虛擬物件至手機中,亦可讓虛擬物件能悠游自在的穿梭在不同媒介(界)中。
作品裝置造型主要是一個直徑120公分、高80公分的木製水缸,缸面以正投影的方式呈現海精靈與水的影像內容,缸面呈現水平如鏡、海精靈悠遊於水中的意象。透過缸面底部的非接觸電容的互動感測系統,觀者可多人同時用手擾動缸面的水波漣漪;同時,結合以智慧手機作為可觸握行動媒介(Tangible mobile interface)的運用,觀者可使用已安裝我們開發的APP智慧手機,從真實的水缸中把海精靈撈起,跨界躍越至觀者的智慧手機,亦可將手機中的海精靈倒回水缸中,呈現在虛擬意象與真實感知之間的跨媒介互動體驗。
