GOAL, INTERDISCIPLINARY PRACTICE AND METHODOLOGIES

FA-RVSVL employs CT scan technology, advanced media tools, and computer graphics, virtual reality (VR), 2D/3D animation, 3D modeling, simulations of three-dimensional environments, time-lapse photography, 4K visuals, 3D stereoscopic 180-degree footage of the natural world, 3D point cloud visualization, and photogrammetry.

FA-RVSVL combines ultra-high-resolution 3D stereoscopic tools with mixed-media techniques, integrating 8K immersive storytelling, motion perspective, virtual aesthetics, interactivity, and location awareness. The project also features multilayered digital visualizations, stereoscopic optical illusions, visual effects from multiple viewpoints, and music and sound effects.

FA-RVSVL EP1 APPLE LAUNCH AT ARS ELECTRONICA CENTER
While in progress, the FA-RVsVL EP1 Apple was launched at the Ars Electronica Festival ‘Welcome to Planet B.’ This application was displayed in the Deep Space 8K. It is a 3D-8K stereo multi-user immersive projection space with 288 square meters of wall and floor projection with laser tracking, suitable for interactive, stereoscopic, and high-definition content. The CT-scanned apples, which are 7 cm in diameter in their actual size, are projected in stereo up to 500 times bigger in the Deep Space in full 8K resolution. The seeds, which are 1 cm in real size, are displayed at 800 times their actual size in high resolution. The wall and floor display projection size is two times 16 by 9 meters….

The Apple is one of the oldest and most potent symbols in Western mythology. It appears in many religious, traditions, mythology, folktales, storytelling. Often as a mystical enigmatic sacred fruit. A symbol for knowledge, healing power, immortality, nature connector, good health, happiness, wisdom, temptation, fantasy and eternal love. It is related as the fruit of the Gods in the Celtic mythology, the golden apples of Garden of Hesperides, guarded by the dragon, Ladon in the Greek mythology, the “forbidden fruit” of the tree of knowledge of good and evil that generate the fall of man and sin. It recalls us for being Snow White, red poisoned half apple of the evil queen, the half-eaten cyanide poisoning apple that killed Alan Turing, the brilliant pioneer of computer science, as the symbol of New York and the bitten Apple logo. “... last and not less… Apples have impressive Health Benefits and are one of the most widely consumed fruits globally.” Healthline

FA-RVsVL is dedicated to David Attenborough
for his unbreakable passion for research, documentation, advocacy and for the protection of nature and its restoration.
