Augmented reality porcelain plate

What if we could make pottery more exciting? What if, like in Keats’ Ode on a Grecian Urn we could we could, well, make it come to life a bit?

That’s exactly what Andrew Tanner Design has done for Royal Winton Bone China – embiuing it with a new lease of life using augmented reality.

The studio is launching the new Chintz design at the Home trade show, currently running in London’s Earl’s Court.

It has teamed up with Jason Jameson and James Hall of animation studio Unanico Group and Royal Winton to create English Hedgerow – a porcelain collectors’ plate that uses augmented reality to become digital, as well as ceramic, art.

The flora and fauna design can be viewed suing a free iPhone app.

Andrew Tanner, founder of Andrew Tanner design, says, poetically,  ‘Working closely with the animators, we have created a surface design inspired by the English hedgerow. Amid the brambles, beech and dandelions, a bullfinch tends to its nest.

‘As a fly buzzes in the oak and hazel, a caterpillar curls in the grass and a butterfly through the hawthorn and stitchwort.’

    Most pointless use of augmented reality yet, nice place though!

    The technology may be sophisticated but the imagery is very conventional and awkward. Why does novel technology mean that clunky imagery and layout is ok.

    I would like to have my bottom teeth fixed so that they don’t look so crooked. I’m always hearing about vaneers – what is different about them from porcelain crowns and are they more or less expensive.Hailsham Dental Implant
