Read full description

SAN is a GPS based augmented reality mobile application that allows users to view large-scale spatial virtual sculptures and architectonic objects whose size can reach up to 100 km. The works can be seen only where they have been located. Information about them can found in the SAN app list or on the san.lv website. The SAN application was created in 2016 using a completely new and unique solution. It allows the creation of GPS based large-scale virtual structures that can be seen on a smart device as 3D objects in augmented reality. They can be viewed in the real space from various angles and you can move through them. The virtual objects have permanent GPS locations without being tied to optical markers or planes, as is the case with other augmented reality applications. The SAN project author is artist Gints Gabrāns.

LLMM - tā ir paplašinātās realitātes aplikācija, ar kuras palīdzību ir iespējams apskatīt Latvijas Laikmetīgās Mākslas Muzeja ēku mērogā 1:1. Ēka tiks pozicionēta dabā pēc GPS koordinātēm un teritorijā izvietotajiem marķieriem. Ja aplikācijā nedarbojas paplašinātās realitātes funkcija, tam var būt divi iemesli: 1. mobilā iekārta neatbilst paplašinātās realitātes tehnoloģijas prasībām; 2. mobilā iekārta atrodas pārāk tālu no apskatāmā objekta GPS koordinātēm. Šajā gadījumā aplikācijā parādīsies informācija par navigāciju uz objektu. LLMM is an augmented reality application that allows users to see the Latvian Museum of Contemporary Art's building on a scale of 1:1. The building will be positioned in the landscape according to GPS coordinates and markers placed in the territory. There are two possible reasons why the augmented reality function of the application does not work: 1. The mobile device does not meet the requirements of augmented reality technology; 2. The mobile device is too far away from the GPS coordinates of the object being viewed. In this case, the application will show navigation to the object.
