Abstract:

    Here are presented paintings with augmented reality from an exhibition, the purpose of which is to provide a user experience when presenting content about the fractal "Pythagorean Tree", to encourage creativity and experimentation, to motivate for deeper study. The exhibition includes paintings with elements of an image of a Pythagorean Tree, with augmented reality to each of them. The augmented reality is an animation with a fractal "Pythagorean Tree", respectively: a symmetrical tree with a small number of iteration; animation with a change in the angle of the rectangular triangle, using only the contours of geometric objects, changing colors and the degree of transparency, using a regular pentago; a regular hexagon; m including different angles of rectangular triangles. Each of the paintings is used as a marker of the augmented reality. An ease of use and an immersive experience that stimulates curiosity are provided. The pilot presentation showed a high level of satisfaction and evaluation of the experience as useful. The exhibition is temporary and prepared for gallery space, but can be transformed into a mobile exhibition with presentation in science museums, interactive centers, STEAM centers; at scientific conferences and on stands at popularization forums.
