Architectural Elements Augmentation from 2D Artworks for Spatial Experience of AR Exhibition

초록

We present a spatial augmentation system designed for Augmented Reality (AR) exhibition experiences, focusing on the immersive reinterpretation of two-dimensional artworks. Existing AR exhibition applications primarily augment content related to the artwork, but fall short of its architectural elements, which are crucial for integrating the artwork into the viewer’s surrounding space and enabling immersive spatial alignment. This study proposes a spatial augmentation approach that takes an artwork image as input, generates floor patterns and architectural 3D models through 2D and 3D model generation pipelines, and semantically aligns and augments them in the physical space. This spatial augmentation intends to enhance viewer engagement and perceived presence by maintaining spatial coherence between virtual and real space. By activating architectural surfaces as part of the experience, the system repositions AR exhibitions as spatial narratives rather than conventional overlay-driven displays.
