Interdisziplinäres Selbstlern-Projekt: BITS in Motion – From Digital Illusion to Physical Reality - Perceptual Shift (Englisch) | Step-by-Step

Home Calendar Support und Hilfe Plattformen Universität Bielefeld

In this interdisciplinary mini-project, you will explore the intersection of 3D design, visual illusion, augmented reality, and animation by creating a perceptual-shift sculpture inspired by Michael Murphy’s Perceptual Shift.

3. Step-by-Step

Let's start! This page shows you the steps you need to follow to get your own perceptual shift animation. See the PDF guides for the detailed instructions to follow.

Apply 3D Modeling Techniques in Blender

Use extrusion, layering, and object alignment
Understand and implement perceptual shift / anamorphic illusion
Prepare a model for 3D printing
See Blender Modeling Guide (PDF)

Publish an Interactive WebAR Experience

Create WebAR scenes viewable on mobile browsers without app installation
See AR Modeling Guide (PDF)

Plan, Shoot, and Edit a Stop-Motion Animation

Develop a basic stop-motion sequence using physical objects
See Stop-motion Guide (PDF)

Final animation of perceptual shift scultpure "BITS". With each frame, the objects are moved into place until they spell "BITS" from the perspective of the viewer.
