Fourtoni

App AR construite pour rendre visible une sculpture contemporaine de la fontaine du Triton

Anyone can access Fourtoni, an augmented reality contemporary sculpture through their personal device. The sculpture is the result of a project which blended data generated through scientific research together with contemporary technology in computer sciences, for an innovative take on the contemporary meaning of a public monument. The artistic concept itself also deals with the effects of human perception on the way we see and understand our daily surroundings; in this case, the Triton Fountain, Valletta, Malta. The augmented reality sculpture is only visible when pointing one’s device at the Valletta fountain.

App development: Dylan Agius, Daniel Mallia and Alessandro Sammut under the supervision of Dr Vanessa Camilleri (Faculty of ICT, University of Malta)
