Tangible Virtual Models is a “touchable” and “comprehensible” virtual model of the rare blooming moment of Titan Arum. By way of touch-free interaction, it is possible to let the flower grown, view it in close-up and retrieve information about its composition and development.
Tangible Virtual Models is a virtual model of the rare blooming moment of Titan Arum, the biggest flower of the plant kingdom. “Tangible” stands for “touchable”, but also “comprehensible” – these are the exact qualities, that have always made didactic models one of the most efficient tools of knowledge transfer. Thanks to touch-free interaction with the Leap Motion Controller, it is possible to let the flower grow, view it in close-up and retrieve information about individual plant parts. The platform www.titanwurz.chcomplements the approach through a compact and appealing video series which has been produced by the study program Cast/Audiovisual media.
