AR TechAugmented Reality in College Learning
Augmented Reality (AR) was coined as a vocabulary term in the 1990s. Over the last 50 years, AR contributed to the advancement of humanity. In figure 2, Ivan Sutherland's invention of his head-mounted display system in 1968 marked the first AR technology ever invented (Bridget). "Sword of Damocles" was created to project computer-generated digital layering graphics. Read More.

AR TechAugmented Reality Calligraphy
AR (Augmented Reality) is an increasingly ubiquitous and popular technical method of representation where digital elements overlay the real environment. In this artist statement, I will outline the inspiration, process, and demonstrations behind an innovative calligraphy tool. Firstly, I have been writing Chinese calligraphy since childhood and produced Fai Chun/Chunlian on my own. These are red paper banners that stick around the main door or entrance of buildings to wish for good fortune and prosperity as a Chinese New Year tradition. If brush ink calligraphy can be replicated with AR, then anyone with the source code can draw without purchasing physical writing tools. Using Hooke's Law to simulate brush strokes, a creative coding blog, is another inspiration source by integrating physics to elevate this experience (Moussa, 2021). Instead of the mouse cursor, pinch detection from either hand controls the brush strokes, adjusting brush size and on/off toggle. Website.

VR TechRubik's Cube Showdown VR
Rubik's Cube VR Showdown offers an immersive virtual reality through Spatial.io that combines the rhythm, anxiety, and ritual associated with speedcubing to create a dynamic and intense interactive environment. Participants engage in a Rubik's Cube challenge using hand gestures in front of a self-adjusting competition table, guided by a virtual judge on a stage that resembles an international tournament. The start and end of the game depend on a virtual sensor pad for physical interaction, a heads-up display (HUD) interface for thorough information feedback, auditory cues to enhance operation confirmation and urgency, and audience participation to provide additional rewarding feedback for the participants.
