DroneLandArt

This video illustrates an example on how arbitrary landscapes can be used as organic display surfaces for situating real world augmentations in novel ways, enabling new design dimension in seeing and perceiving the world from above. As drones with integrated cameras are becoming more popular and may soon be ubiquitous, seeing the world from above may interest more and more people. The presented video demonstrates a novel approach for creating large-scale art works that are built into landscapes. We call this DroneLandArt. In the video a green grass field is used as a large-scale display surface for a huge smiley, made with the help of a video-enabled drone and a lawn mower. In this paper, we discuss motivational aspects of the work and the creative process involved.
