I've got my own MMNieuws magazines! With my own illustration on them!
The
image is about new media techniques. After investigating the whole
bunch of new techniques and looking up what the hell they all mean, I
got interested in the phenomenon Augmented Reality.
It is a virtual reality that you can create using your webcam. So I
decided to make the magazine a carrier for Augmented Reality, that's why
you see the weird square head: it's a code. So, when reading the
magazine, you could experience the possibilities of AR yourself.
Going for that, there was a lot more work to do, but it made it more fun and luckily the magazine people liked it.
They even made our work into a contest, you can guess which two artists you see in the AR-character Sander Kloppenburg (3D-modeling), Gijs Kusters (AR-programming) and I made and win a prize. I don't know what prize, but I entered the contest and I think I might win.
And
a bio which they let me write myself, so I told the world that I'm a
very cool person, but unfortunately they let that out. Now they'll never
know.
The screenshots are an example of some fun you can have with Augmented Reality, using the magazine, the internet and a webcam.
