Augmented Reality exhibition explores a rare eye disorder through 'Fractured Visions'![]() Article by Lucia Ruggiero ![]() Made in collaboration with psychiatrist and clinical lecturer Dominic Ffytche, the exhibition explores how the brain and its perception of the world shapes reality according to the viewer, by focussing on a rare visual disorder called Palinopsia. This disorder causes objects in the line of vision of the subject to fragment and repeat. At the exhibition, when the images are viewed through a smartphone or tablet they appear to fracture and repeat, imitating the visual experience of possessing the Palinopsia eye condition. The exhibition is intended to provide an emotional visual experience for viewers, encouraging them to question how others see the same world. ![]() ![]() (Photos: ©Tamiko Thiel 2014).
