Eduard Locota Augmented Reality Mirror from the Collectible Design Collection
By Eduard Locota
Located in Timisoara, RO
From extremely detailed 3D scans of the most important classical sculptures of all times, Eduard Locota has digitally sliced and extracted the essential portion of the artwork, then physically 3D-printed it into a new representation fit for the XX-st Century.
Eduard Locota has been working with digital 3D modeling software for over 20 years now; and this is the first time he has combined his digital 3D skills with his physical skills to give birth to this radical new collection, representing the past, present and the future.
With the aid of your smartphone, you can transcend the physical counterpart of mirrors/sculptures into the metaverse. Each of the sculptures/mirrors has a new life with the aid of our augmented reality solutions.
