Extended Registration

Extended Registration is a performance-based methodology that utilises augmented reality (AR) to restore our connection to nature through shared, immersive experiences. Students learn to build interactive applications, fostering a fusion of technology, landscape, and the human body as a new type of digital spatiality.

Extended Registration is subsequently digitalised using motion capture (MoCap). In this case, the technology is informed by handheld-screen and drone recordings from the field, specifically the Amager Common nature reserve in Greater Copenhagen. The captured data is utilised to direct AI algorithms, which expand architectural forms of represention with immersive experiences in augmented reality AR. 

The project pushes the boundaries of the architect’s role and what it should be going forward. How do we enhance the registration phase with a more vibrant, holistic approach and move away from being solely observational and technical? And how can state-of-theart technology be incorporated into a holistic, social, organic and sustainable experience of our common spaces? Extended Registration is a pioneering research project for how the human body reacts in hybrid situations between augmented reality, the city and the landscape.
