When I first came across the GRAVITY tablet prototype a few years ago and posted it on the blog (here), the idea of bringing 2D concepts into 3D reality was still in its early stages . Granted, the virtual world of Second City was in full swing at the time but AR was still considered a kind of cartoonish sci-fi fantasy world, inhabited mostly by geeks and otaku types. In other words it was all still a bit weird.
But it has come along quite a bit since then. I like what artist Marc van Elburg is doing with AR in visual art and find it quite interesting. These two videos of his experiments with drawing with augmented reality gives a hint of the potential of mark making in space. Exciting!
