Designing an Augmented Reality Exhibition: Leonardo's Impossible Machines

Abstract

This paper discusses the origins, development and results of the animated and augmented reality aspects of the exhibition ‘Leonardo’s Impossible Machines’ that was developed at Ravensbourne University (London) and Birkbeck, University of London, with support from the Museo Galileo. The exhibition included novel reconstructions and visualisations of Leonardo’s perpetual motion machines from the Codex Forster, and the process is explained here, along with the challenges of mounting a combined physical and AR show.
