The Circle – the Story of Creating the First Tattoo Using Augmented Reality

Описание: Introducing a research film in which Herman IX reimagines the traditional approach to tattooing by creating a tattoo using augmented reality technology.

Herman IX – the artist, researcher, and tattooist, in collaboration with the Sketchar team, continues to explore immersive technologies as a tool to expand the creative horizons of individuals.

This film is a groundbreaking exploration in which a tattoo is applied to the body, and a virtual sketch is used as a stencil on the skin of a model, which the artist sees in real-time through mixed-reality glasses.
