Beautiful World

Beautiful World is an MR (Mixed Reality) content that projects the vision of the AI into the ‘human eye’. When we think of virtual reality or augmented reality, futuristic, high-technology visuals pop up in our minds. Beautiful World sarcastically captures the other side of the coin. With the images of environmental disasters embellished with high technology, it points to the reality of how we cannot dismiss current social issues, by blindly seeking for tech-utopia. Using an artificial intelligence library called Chainer Fast Neural Style Models, you are given a ‘filter’ to look around, with a virtual reality device HTC VIVE. The visual experience of ‘mixed reality’ Beautiful World offers, leads you to face the ongoing changes more instantly and realistically, alarming that environmental pollution is not a distant reality.
