Proposal and Evaluation of AR Installation Based on Spatial Image

Installation art exists in artistic expression that is closely related to the characteristics of a place or space. In this study, the effect of installation art utilizing AR technology on the space of Wakayama University Sakaedani Campus was verified through impression evaluation. Three patterns of AR installation were proposed for each of two areas on the university campus and analyzed by impression evaluation and multiple comparisons. The results showed that the “dynamic” and “attractive” items common to the two areas changed significantly before and after the installation, indicating that the installation improved the spatial experience for viewers. However, there were no significant differences in evaluation between patterns. This suggests that the unique visual expression of AR, which is not consistent in color and shading with the real space, brought about a change in the impression of the space.
