Artist Statement & Technical Statement
Augmented Shadow is a design experiment creating an artificial shadow effect through the use of tangible objects and blocks on a displayable tabletop interface. Its goal is to offer a new type of user-experience.
The rationale behind Augmented Shadow is that shadow present distorted silhouette of object due to various lighting conditions. Augmented Shadow takes the distortion effect into the realm of fantasy. Shadows appear after objects in accordance to the law of physics.
And yet, in the realm of his art, shadows themselves transform objects into houses, occupied by shadow creatures. By moving the blocks around the table, user sets off series of reactions within this new fantasy ecosystem.
In this installation, the shadows exist in both a real and a virtual environment simultaneously. It thus brings augmented reality to the tabletop and forms a tangible interface. Shadow becomes an 'interface metaphor' connecting the virtual world and user.
Also, the unexpected user experience results from manipulating users' visual perceptions, expectations and imagination inspires re-perception and new understanding. User can play with the shadows lying on the boundary between the real, virtual, and fantasy.
Augmented Shadow utilizes this unique ‘interface metaphor' for interactive storytelling. Maximizing the magical amusement of AR, Augmented Shadow embeds an ecosystem where imaginary objects and organic beings co-exist while each of them influences on each other's life-cycle.
Light and shadow play critical roles in this world's and such function causes chain reactions between virtual people, trees, birds and houses. A set of tangible blocks allows user to participate in the ecosystem. User can make an influence on the system by playing with the blocks or observing the change of the shadows as if kids were playing with an ant farm.

藝術家陳述及技術陳述
虛影實幕是一個設計實驗，透過實物及方體於桌面顯示屏上的移動，製造出人造影子。它旨在為觀眾提供一種新的使用者經驗。
虛影實幕的原理是因應光暗程度，投射出被歪曲的影子。影子根據物理原則出現於實體物件的受光面背後，而虛影實幕就是透過歪曲的影子建構出一個又一個的魔幻世界。
在文氏的藝術世界，影子變成房舍、被影子生物侵占。通過移動桌上的方體，觀眾在這魔幻世界裡設置並啓動一系列的生態連鎖反應。
在這個作品裡，真實與虛擬的影子同時出現，把擴張實境帶到桌面並形成一個實在的界面。影子變成了一種「界面的比擬符號」，把虛擬世界與觀眾連繫起來。
這種使用者經驗是不能預料的，作品藉著現場視覺感受、期待及想像空間中的隙縫，啟發觀眾對物象的新認知及思維。觀眾可以嬉玩那存於真實、虛擬和幻想之間的影子。
虛影實幕透過它獨特的比擬性，訴說一個互動故事。為令擴張實境的魔幻趣味發揮到極致，虛影實幕裡有一個想像的生態系統，系統裡的物件與生物共存卻又同時牽引彼此的生命週期。
光與影在這個世界裡有著關鍵的作用。它們會在虛擬的人、樹木、雀鳥和房屋之間，引發一連串的連鎖反應。實在的方體邀請觀眾參與那想像的生態系統。通過移動桌上的方體，觀眾能影響該生態系統；又或，觀眾能如孩子玩螞蟻農場一樣，仔細觀賞影子的變化。
