For this event de Lab created unique 3D content and developed innovative Augmented Reality equipment with rollators (the AR screen-based system is mounted on them) and a special, large screen rotating 360 degrees around the panorama of the sculpture garden.
November 21, 2008 Augmented Reality presentation of student work from Interior and Furniture Design department of the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague.
June 28, 2008
Screen-based installation with tangible markers and a book with an interactive and animated 3D portfolio of Marina de Haas has be exhibited at the graduation show of the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague from June 28 until July 6, 2008.
April 29, 2008 Large space augmented with animated furniture, interactive textile exhibition based on mobile RFID technology and a small installation with tangible markers (based on the ARToolKit open source software) were all parts of a big show at Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2008 in Milan (Italy) prepared by the students and teachers of Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in cooperation with the AR+RFID Lab.

From the project description of the artist: "Drops of white - order, symmetry, rhythm, movement. Drops of white - light is light, transparent, changing, intangible."
November 15, 2007 The team of AR+RFID Lab is working on an application of Augmented Reality in the field of interior design and architecture. In the demonstration below virtual furniture can be attached to optical markers movable in real space.
 Out of the blue at TodaysArt Festival (AR+SOUND) September 25, 2007 AR+RFID Lab artist in residence Marina de Haas together with Wim van Eck, Jan Willem Brandenburg, Jurjen Caarls and Alwin van Rooij created a unique audio-visual AR environment made of round objects leading back to the basics of all organic shapes on earth. The ellipse shapes come out of the walls and find their way into the exhibition space. When you wear the Augmented Reality headset you are bound to stay in a circle of 1.50 meter from the table, which is set
May 14, 2007 Students of the Post Graduate Course Industrial Design at the KABK and AR+RFID Lab partner Fabrique worked on the prototype design of the Augmented Reality headset based on the elements of Visette 45 SXGA, minituarized embedded camera platform and an inertia tracker.
April 20, 2007 Augmented Reality Theater is an interactive installation with virtual 3D animated puppets in AR, data-gloves and physical objects tagged with RFID. For the first time both technologies - Augmented Reality and Radio Frequency Identification - are combined in an entertaining, interactive show pushing traditional puppet theater to the 21st century. Using data-glove the user can control the position and face expression of the puppet in Augmented Reality. Besides that various physical objects tagged with RFID are used to trigger changes in the behaviour and look of the puppet. Check the report from unDEAF for more info, video's and pictures!
January 30, 2007 The Netherlands is a country, where rich tradition in typography design does not only manifest itself in the creation of excellent typefaces for print. Dutch people - as Gert Dumbar says - also simply eat type, like typical Dutch letter choclate or letter noodles. Refering to this national passion for typography and the 325th anniversary of the leading typography design institute in Europe, the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (where also our AR+RFID Lab is located), Augmented Letter Soup is a project where AR technology is used to rethink the function of letters in an innovative installation combining typography with interior and interaction design. Wearing the AR headset users of the installation can see and experience a virtual, typographic interior placed in a real, physical environment and write text in augmented space using 3D, animated letters attached to tangible optical markers (fiducials).
November 27, 2006 Augmented Reality Workshop was the first initiative of collaboration between the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague and the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). From March till June 2006 students of both institutes were working together on creating experimental, interactive 3D environments to be used in Augmented Reality projects in the field of e.g. gaming, interior design and fine arts. Some results of this workshop were presented during the official opening of the AR+RFID Lab - September 8, 2006.
January 2006 Different elements of a multilayered photograph projected on a wall can be displayed or hidden using an interface made of tangible RFID-tagged objects and a table with an embedded RFID reader. However, instead of simply "taking" pictures of these objects and representing them on screen in a realistic way, the system projects their unexpected and sometimes surprising, symbolic interpretations in form of an imaginative, associative photomontage.
Interactive Hats (RFID) January 2005 Interactive Hats is an audio-visual installation presented in the entrance hall of the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague during the academic Open Day in January 2005. It consists of interactive animations made in Macromedia Flash controlled by tangible, physical objects: hats. If one of the hats lying on the table is placed on an active area (RFID reader mounted under the table) the system will project a short movie associated to it. The goal of this project is to investigate the possibilities of combining RFID technology and interactive multimedia in an entertaining way.

Workshops
Currently Wim van Eck is teaching 3D animation and Game Design (together with Amalia Kallergi) for students of the Royal Academy of Art (KABK). Another training related to the technologies used at the AR+RFID Lab (Wiring and Arduino I/O boards) is Programming Interactions by Amalia Kallergi, an introductory course in Processing. Furthermore there are introductory courses in DIY Electronics and Electronic Textiles which are taught by Melissa Coleman If you are a student at the KABK and would like to follow any of these courses, please contact Gitta Pardoel.
