March 2023

KKH KFoU funded Research project Sculpting with SARA (Spatial Augmented Reality) is finalized after 2 years of development. In the project Martin Christensen and Martin Eklund has explored how spatial augmented reality can assist sculpting in the physical space based on a digital 3D-model. As a result of their findings they propose a setup of software and hardware as well as methods to use these (SARA), that can visually guide an artist in the work of manual transfer of digital to physical three-dimensional form. Henrik Ekesiöö has been an active collaborator and contributed a lot to the development of the physical setup and practical testing of software.
