Artwork can be very complex, and some audiences may be overwhelmed by the multitude of coalescent artistic elements. Many art collections feature very complex artwork that audiences may have trouble understanding or comprehending and consequently give up on their attempts of analysis.
The work described here attempts to help museum visitors and guide them through their analysis process by using virtual reality and modern technology to create a simulation that will allow users to “recreate” the painting by looking at objects or features of the painting and adding them to the painting one by one. The goal of such a simulation would be to provide a immersive, innovative, and fun experience to museum visitors that will allow them to better understand the complexities of artwork.
This paper was completed under The First-Year Innovation and Research Experience (FIRE) program at the University of Maryland, College Park. I learned how to write a technical research paper and create a thesis supported by evidence. I also learned how to create professional project timelines for software development.
