Abstract

Invisibilia seeks to explore the use of Augmented Reality (AR), Head Mounted Displays (HMD) and depth cameras to create a system that makes invisible data from our environment visible, combining widely accessible hardware to visualize layers of information on top of the physical world. Using our implemented prototype, the user can visualize, interact and modify properties of sound waves in real time by using intuitive hand gestures. As such the system supports experiential learning about certain physics phenomena through observation and hands-on experimentation.
