Towards an Architecture of Collaborative Objects

Grasser, Alexander

Article:

Towards an Architecture of Collaborative Objects, explores the potential ofplaying with Collaborative Objects in real, augmented and mixed realities. Amulti-player game platform App: VoxelCO, developed by the author, provides aspeculative playground to research, the interaction with objects, things andpeople, as well as provokes new opportunities to engage deeply with its contentand context. Furthermore, VoxelCO, reveals new modes of participation, todesign and collaborate in real-time with augmented reality, using millennialtools: mobile devices. A case study project, the VoxelStage, offered anopportunity to apply VoxelCO to design a stage together with a group of students.To merge the collaboratively aggregated virtual objects of VoxelCO with reality,real WireCubes were augmented and assembled, proposing an architecture ofsocially augmented fuzzy formations.
