Team 3: Non-narrativity is the new storytelling

“A virtual wall, where everyone can add writing, pictures, videos, art and other content in public space.”
People have always had the need to leave something behind of themselves.
With our concept we want to make public space truly public for the people.

• Virtual wall and it’s content is only visible when using a compatible device and with a special application or command. Otherwise they are invisible to the naked eye.
• Other users can see, browse and search the content left on the wall. Filters can be added.

Virtuwall™ - Technology
Where are we now?

EyeTap

• An EyeTap is a device that is worn in front of the eye that acts as a camera to record the scene available to the eye as well as a display to superimpose a computer-generated imagery on the original scene available to the eye. 
• In essence, similar to Glass, but functions as a visual overlay, instead of providing a small Heads-up display (HUD) in the corner. 

Contact lenses

• Contact lenses that display AR imaging are in development. These bionic contact lenses might contain the elements for display embedded into the lens including integrated circuitry, LEDs and an antenna for wireless communication.

Advancements Needed

• Getting rid of visual markers.
• A more precise positioning system for storing the location data.
• Hardware advancements.
