In the last decade, there has been a remarkable change in the media. Many traditional communication media such as newspapers and books are being consumed increasingly on the screen.
In our experimental design project Jekyll and Hyde we explore and demonstrate the new possibilities opened up by the use of augmented reality technology in the printing sector.
Based on the novel “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” we created a book which offers additional multimedia content when combined with the screen. Rather than just putting 3D-Models over the book, we tried to find unusual ways to combine analog and digital content.
The work is a collection of applications that were developed through experiments and design studies.
